bb question... just thinking here and wondering.... would it be possible to have a second phone line/number with a second bb connection on it into one house? would it be possible to connect up another router and config it so that wireless was seperate? i get moaned at as he has to turn his torrent off when i work at home as it uses up all the bandwidth. But i get the impression if we got more bandwidth it would just be more downloads... anyone done this? |
I haven't done it but it is possible. Use a different frequency for the wireless connection, different SSID and differend WEP key - Roberts your mothers brother as they say. |
Lily, Firstly you have to think I am with blueyonder (Cable DSL) not BT (ADSL) so the 2nd phone line means diddly squat. I guess upping the bandwidth would simply mean I have more to use :D but if you went down the ADSL route and BT enable a ADSL line to my house you could hang a wireless router on there and just use a different channel, set up access control on the router etc no problem. |
hmmm... might be worth considering then... although having said that looks like i am going to be heading down south for work as of next week anyway :( |
hmmm forgot about that... but could do adsl anyway as an option? |
Sorry as you said another line I assumed you meant that you already had ADSL. But as Freak nobly points out ... you could still connect a BT line to the house and enable ADSL from any provider on that line. Setup your wireless and you're off. Depends how far south you're coming but I could always tell you my WEP key ;) :frog: |
i think i might be a bit away from your neck of the woods... most likely to be living at heathrow... oh what joy :( |

I don't think Netgear make a wireless router with that range! Or are you thinking slightly underhand there sir? :smug: |

My wireless router is a Draytek - and me, underhand? :saint: Heathrow is actually quite close to me Lily, 10 minutes drive on a good day, 7 hours on a bad one :( Have a look on multimap and plot a route from Heathrow to Twickenham train station, it would only be a few miles, 3 or 4. |
hmmm... that close heh.... well if you see a silver golf lurking outside then it could be me... :o haven't been working down that way for a few years and not totally looking forward to it but work is good so can't be too fussy i guess. |
