Two cable modems on one cable subscription?
Does anybody know if I can put two cable modems on one Cox cable line?
I live in a cinder block house, and if possible I'd rather just spend the $100 on a second cable modem than run a $60 ethernet cable up through the brown recluse infested attic to my existing modem and router... |
Can't help ya on the box thing but, I can sure tell ya to stay away from those brown recluse spiders!!

What about wireless? You can probably get a USB wireless adapter for your desktop and wireless router for $50 and wireless USB for $25 or less.
|
hook up a wireless router to the modem and run a cable from 1 puter to the router and get a wireless card for the other puter..... that is what i do
|
I'd rather have the speed and reliability of a non-wireless solution.
And don't go all "trinary arrays" and "type N" and crap because I don't buy it, wires are faster. |
I recently snuck a wire through the ceiling in a closet to the room above for runnin cat 6 cable to a computer upstairs, took my time made a few measurements and pulled the rug away from the wall/ tack strip and drilled down, knowing I would end up in the closet below. if I ever need to move out a bit of scotch tape and paint in a closet is a quick hide. & behind you 100% on the wires over wireless crud.

May end up with a conflict between the 2 mac addresses. Better to get a router. By the way, couldn't tell a difference in speed between a wired and wireless connection.

have a router (wireless) connected to my computer and wife uses her laptops with a wireless card
no problem with her speed even when she goes outside in the backyard with it |
My Router must be a POS then. I get a much faster connection on my wired computer than I do on my wireless.
