pimpshiznid Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I was wondering. I am about to get cable internet from a small local ISP and I was wondering... If I wire the cable internet feed together, could I could I use 2 modems on one account, since I have an extra cable modem laying around. I just don't want to go out and buy wireless cards because I have to spread it out across about 200 feet. Thanks In Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[hxc] Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 i think the only way to use 2 modems is to use a router. and with cable internet i'm pretty sure they dont allow more than one computer on an account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye_see_you Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 for the second modem to work you would have to pay for it , WHY ? because the mac address has to be registered with thier system in order to work. As for the wireless just get a wireless router and a card and you would be set . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ficman Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Single Cable Modem and Wireless router (or a ported router) is the way to go... I have several friends doing it, works great.... :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
