2 routers on a single line.

[leheheh]

Hi,
I have a single 4mb line, 2 separate ISP accounts and 2 phone points in my home (obviously split somewhere in the ceiling).

However 1 is upstairs and the other downstairs.

What I want to know is: Can I use 2 wired routers, one upstairs and one downstairs on the same telkom line but at different phone points?

If so, what will the speeds be on each pc be if both are simultaneously connected?

Thanks/

Nope. From my experience, the signal needs to sync with a single device. If you do it, only one router will sync at a time.

No it will not work - been asked on the forums

You can only connect up one DSL router, you can use multiple PPPoE DSL accounts if you set your DSL in bridge mode
using a Routerboard RB750 device or Linux box or on your Windows Box

Sell it in the MyBB classifieds - maybe swop one for a wireless AP

depending on the routers, you could use both in-line. Like I'm using both an ADSL modem/router and a Wireless AP/router to split local & international traffic. Of course you need one router to be able to dial at least 2 PPPoE connections for that.
Usually ADSL modems are incapable of doing that, although normal wireless routers are capable of dialing at least 2 PPPoE connections though.

if both are ADSL routers and none of them are able to dial multiple accounts concurrently, then selling it wouldn't be a bad idea either

I struggle to get my router in bridge mode, but I got the crappy Telkom Marconi router.

What router would you guys recommend?
