bb question...

Lily · 01-Mar-2005, 19:10

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

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

Lily · 01-Mar-2005, 19:16

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

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?

My wireless router is a Draytek - and me, underhand?

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...

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.
