What Are The Different Methods for sharing a DSL connection? Describe All Plz! Which Iz Better?

Answer 1

a router or an access point is the most popular ...

Answer 2

About the only easy ways I am aware for home use is either through a standard router or better yet a wireless router. Big companies use Network servers and such.
Currently you should be connected from your wall jack to a DSL modem then an RJ-45 (Network Cable) from the DSL modem to your computer.
Plugging that RJ-45 cable from the DSL modem into a router, and running another RJ-45 cable from the router to your computer gives you access and more ports to plug other computers into.
A wireless router is similar but you can connect to it without the wires running all over. Unfortunately, if not set up properly, so can any one within the range of you signal. 300-500 ft. inside 1200-1400 ft. outside.

Answer 3

1 - One computer is connected to the DSL and other computers are connected to this computer and sharing its internet connection.
2 - DSL router is plugged into a wireless router that also has four RJ-45 connections. The desktop has one of the RJ-45 slots and the laptop uses the wireless (or, all computers can use the wireless).
3 - DSL router is plugged into a switch, which provides internet for your small business.

Which is better? It depends on the application. If the application is for home use, even for a small home-office, I'd go with number 2.

Answer 4

Sharing All DSL services are easily shared with software or hardware EXCEPT AOL-DSL. AOL decided to implement a custom version of PPPoE that broadband routers do not work with. (See this article about 'bringing your own DSL service to AOL)

USB-DSL Modems
Sharing First, check to see if your modem also has an Ethernet port on it. It might be labeled 10/100 or LAN and look like a large telephone jack. If your DO have one, then your modem does both Ethernet and USB - your options are open for connection sharing because any broadband router will work with it.



Options are Open
Unless you have a USB modem or AOL-DSL, your options are complely open when it comes to sharing your cable modem Internet connection
Sharing with Microsoft ICS
Sharing with a Broadband router
Sharing with a Linux router
Other Connection sharing software

3) Set up Internet Connection Sharing to share Internet connection. This is cheapest option since you only need networks cards and maybe network switch.

Overall, I would recommend you to set up a wireless network as it's very popular, not difficult to set up and the cost is acceptable.

Hope this helps..
