2 accounts on one router

[cryptic1]

Hello chaps

I managed to get a free 1gig account from Afrihost. Being a noob to ADSL, I want to know if it's possible to switch between Afrihost and Mweb please.

I've got a DLink 2640U router, thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if all D-Link routers would allow you to (like my DSL-2500U can have multiple PPPoE connections), but you can try to add another WAN interface:
Port=0, VPI=8, VCI=35 -> Next
Connection Type=PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) -> Next
Fill in PPP Username & Password, and you might want to select Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports too, to place the router in half-bridge mode -> Next
Select Enable NAT, Select Enable Firewall, Service Name = something descriptive, like PPPoE_Afrihost / PPPoE_Mweb & keep Enable WAN Service disabled on the 2nd connection -> Next
-> Save

Now you can just Edit either of those connections and select/deselect the Enable WAN Service

Or, an easier option would be to set the router in bridge mode and then simply dial the PPPoE connections from your PC, which would go MUCH MUCH faster!

Bridge mode and use Pada's Traffic Splitter app to split your traffic

Do you think that this can be done on a Telkom ADSL 5102G as well?

As far as I understand, he wanted to switch between the accounts and not just dialing both and routing the traffic accordingly.

Redsbaron, you can certainly try. I doubt that your modem will allow you to add 2 accounts, but I think it would be capable of half-bridge & bridge modes though.
