Dual Dialup

[Lifepuzzler]

I've encountered a problem related to my modems.

I have a Netgear modem which ran the adsl cable port to it and had a @telkomsa.net account - MAIN Modem

I also have a second modem Billion 800VGT which connected to the Main modem via CAT Cable which i could setup a another PPPOE in the modem which had a @afrihost.co.za account.

Which means i ran two dialups via the modems on one 4MB line.

After I switched the two modems, the Billion as Main and Netgear as secondary, the Billion dialups up via PPPOE but not the Netgear?

Please ask any necessary quiestions.

Please ask any necessary quiestions.

I will ask you the quiestions.

1. Where did you learn to spell?
2. If it works the other way, why did you swap them around?
3. Have you looked for an option on the netgear for bridge mode?

ADSL is a digital product and uses routers. A modem is an analogue device to modulate/demodulate analogue to Digital. There is no such thing as an ADSL Modem

Netgear 2750U? Dont you mean Dlink?

 

[Rickster]

OP, you need a switch to replace the Billion Router, then you can setup 2 PPPoE accounts on the computers.

Rubbish. The DSL signal is modulated and modem is the correct term. Routing is a higher level function.

1. "quiestions" lol typo

2. I swapped because the d-link kept dropping the connection.

3. It's on bridge but nothing happens.

@Rickster

I need PPPOE via Router not PC since I use WiFI mostly.

 

[Lifepuzzler]

Router 1(D-Link Netgear) had telkomsa.net PPPOE in the Router config and Router 2(Billion) had afrihost.co.za in the config.
Router 1 IP: 192.168.1.2
Router 2 IP: 192.168.1.3

When I use WiFi on my phone I could change the Gateway and DNS to either 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3 Which means I could change between ISP without changing usernames in a Router.

So now the billion is connected to the ADSL using the Telkom account, and the dlink has the details of the Afrihost and has its wan port connected to the LAN port of the billion?

That's correct, the Billion dials but that D-Link just hangs.

In the picture you clearly shows the laptop and PC using Lan cables, you cant have 2 routers on one ADSL line.

Then you would have to buy a Wireless AP,

Then put telkoms details in the router then you have to dial in the other accounts on the computers.

Is there an option for "Ppoe with pasthru" on the billion?

It does, I've done some research and it shows that the D-Link is only capable of Adsl WAN not Ethernet WAN can that be the problem?

Yup, but apparently some firmware versions override this problem by allowing the LAN port as a WAN one. Dropped the dlink from my setup a while back because of random restarts

You can't have two modems syncing on one line
