Is it Possible to setup two routers plugged into one Phone Line?

There is a small network using one router/modem at the moment, and i don't want to mess the system. Can I just split the phone line and plug in a seperate router/modem onto the line, and setup and independant network with a seperate ISP?

I realise we will be sharing bandwith, if it's possible, but will it be split 50:50 or will one router take priority? or is not that simple?

Use one router, put it in bridged mode and have each PC control its own connection with its own account. :)
 
can all routers do 'bridged' mode? Is this a way to split local and international accounts?

Yes it is called a search button located somewhere on the forum... :rolleyes:

Anyways all routers should be able to do bridge mode and you can also have a look here for more info....

You can however run multiple login sessions on one line. If your configure the router correctly you can do thus from different machines on the network using different ISP accounts.
