Stupid question...Can I use a Broadband router to network a Dial-up connection?

Question

D-Link DI-604 Ethernet router

Answer 1

Yes you can actually, but not the way you are probably hoping.

You cant install a modem into the router and have your two computers control it. But you can network your computers together using the router and have one computer share its dial-up internet connection with any other computer in the network.

Now this is going to be very slow surfing and you wont have that much luck playing online games with more then 1 computer at a time, but it can be done.

Check out the link below for instructions on how to setup the shares dialup internet.
