Please log in for more thread options I've been searching everywhere for info on this, and people here seem to be the most knowlegable...so here goes:- I have 2 ZoomX5 ADSL modem/routers. 1 is connected in one corner of my house. I'd like to connect the other at the opposite end, upstairs. I know I could use Cat5 and run it from the first to the second PC no problem, but a better solution for me is to just connect a 'slave' modem upstairs, where I already have a phone line ready to go. I can't connect the second modem as pre-configured - it 'knows' I'm already logged into my ISP. Is there any way to configure the 2nd ZoomADSL to be a slave without being physically connected to the first? I read somewhere that I could have multiple PPPoE's? I'm not very technical with networks, but logically I think I'd be able to have a slave... Wireless is not an option - I've tried but we're talking multiple walls of concrete, plus a floor, it makes it about 40ft - I need about 100ft line of sight (or 150-200 if I were to run Cat5). Thanks for any help in advance. | ||||||||||||||||

No, wrong device. You want to install a Ethernet hub or Ethernet Switch. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm | ||||||||||||||||

I have never used HPNA, which can network over phone lines. But another option might be through power lines. I know that netgear has a combination XE102 wall-plugged ethernet bridge and WXG102 wireless range extender that works through power lines. But maybe 2 XE102's could bridge a wired network. | ||||||||||||||||
