Can u have two dsl modems?

Question

Is it possible to have two dsl modems connected on the same phone line?

Answer 1

Dude dont listen to this first guy i have 6 in my cali house and they dont bother me but you need a cell phone because when you put in 6 dsl modems then your house phone takes a little longer because it has to find an unused channel... but give geeks on call a ring they are free unless they come to your house which u wont need. also think about a wireless adapter thing they just have signal through your house so any computer within 100 feet of the base can use it... it is safe because you have a bunch of things that look like phone lines and they keep hackers out so it is safe

Answer 2

Your DSL service comes over a phone line. Only one modem can be online at a time on that phone#, so there's no point in getting a 2nd modem unless you wanted to order DSL service on a different phone line (and pay a monthly fee for that, too) If you need to share your Internet connection among multiple computers, you just need a router. It connects to your DSL modem, and your computers plug into the router. These days most routers also support wireless connections for laptops.

Answer 3

DSL on phone line? No not a good idea. Because the computer can only request one modem's attention at a time, and if they're from two different providers.. you would be paying more money, and only using one router.

Answer 4

why would U want to do that as long as the purpose of the modem is to decode or I rather say demodulate the signal then is useless 2 have more than one now if you wanna distribute the Internet u better use a switch or a router that u can do

Answer 5

Don't think so. I know I'm only allowed one cable modem. Most ISP like to register only one MAC address to an account. Why would you want two modems anyway?

Answer 6

if you want to have 2 internet connections, get 1 dsl & 1 cable. you can bind them together if you want to get faster speeds using the DLink DI-LB604. if you just want to connect 2 computers together to access the internet, get a wireless router.

Answer 7

We have a Linksys that networks the computers together so that we both can use the wireless connection at the same time. You can buy them at walmart for like $50.00

Answer 8

no. DSL has a decidated line to your CO. Now if you had two phone lines going into your house. maybe.

But, it should be cheaper to just increase your DSL bandwidth.

Answer 9

get a router at bestbuy or split the phone line by getting a spliter ask bestbuy

Answer 10

there is absolutely no reason. Use a router to split the connection.
