Ok this is the situation. I live in a cottage that is right next door to a bigger house. We get our cable from this house. We also get the internet via wireless router. I have extenders on the antennas on the router but it cuts out to much. I have taken the modem from the bigger house and hooked it up at my house plenty of times for faster internet, but I can’t keep doing this because the people in the big house need the internet as much as I do. So the question is can I buy a modem (the same modem they have) and hook it up to my house and have it still work or would I need to tell the cable provider? And if I told the cable provider this I would have to pay for this. I left out all of the details on how I switched the cables so I could get the cable modem over at my house so just ignore that. The real question is can I have 2 external modems running at the same time?

Yes I mean hook up another cable modem that has been split off the other house. The modem I want to hook up will not be hooked up to a computer, it is going to be hooked up to my xbox360. I cant wire up some CAT6 cable because it will be slow by the time it gets to my house, also it just cant be done with our setup.
