Multiple dsl modems on dsl line?

I'm new to doing networking stuff. I just got dsl service, too. At the moment I have three basic questions:
1. I have a "2wire Gateway" dsl modem/wireless router, which connects to the phone jack and successfully provides internet access. However,I also have an older dsl modem only. Can I connect this modem to another phone jack and get internet access at that jack station, too, or must there be only one dsl "incoming" connection?
2. Would this second modem have to have a "driver" of sorts, that is, will the existing Networking Preference panel on Tiger take care of the connection protocols, or would the modem need its own? (I got the dsl and lan lights to light up, but the internet light didn't.)
3. Is it possible to have the 2wireGateway send its signal to my Airport Exteme Base Station (the spaceship b/g model) to extend the range of the wireless signal?

Can I connect this modem to another phone jack and get internet access at that jack station, too, or must there be only one dsl "incoming" connection?
This question is something you probably should ask your ISP.
2. Would this second modem have to have a "driver" of sorts...
Why? If it were the only modem connected to the DSL line it wouldn't need a driver.
3. Is it possible to have the 2wireGateway send its signal to my Airport Exteme Base Station (the spaceship b/g model) to extend the range of the wireless signal?
Not wirelessly.

Given wireless range of Time Capsule is 150', will this work? Put DSL modem on phone line in garage, connect ethernet to small office bldg (125') and connect separate ethernet to main house (200'). Time capsule on each end (or Airport Express)? Thx

Given Time Capsule wireless range is 150', will this solution work? In detached garage, connect DSL modem to phone line, then connect ethernet cable to DSL modem and run 125' to small office bldg. Connect separate ethernet cable to DSL modem and run 200' to main house. Put time capsule or Airport Express in each bldg resulting in separate wireless networks in each? Thanks.

This will work very well. You can run a CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable up to 330 feet...or 100 meters...with virtually no signal loss.
CAT6 costs a bit more, but will handle next generation Ethernet speeds, so if you have a choice, suggest that you opt for CAT6 cabling.

DSL Line two locations

Not sure if this is the place to post this question but I have a DSL line coming into the house and a Qwest modem. Then I run into Apple Time capsule. The wireless feature is working fine but I can not get a strong signal out in the backyard. I have a phone line out there and would like to hook up another modem and wireless system. Is it possible to run two seperate systems off the same phone line and DSL line coming into the house?

can anyone help on this one ?

Connecting c2821 to dsl line

Hi All ,
I have a Cisco 2821 IOS 12.4 with HWIC-1ADSL card on board .
My intention is to connect that router directly to dsl line of my OTE Greek internet provider, moving the dsl cable actually
connected into modem/router ZYXEL TW263R4. I have all the atm parameters (pvc 8/36) , PPPoE/LLC is ppp protocol
and ppp chap username/password for authentication is used,
Is there someone, experienced such a direct connection, can help me in configuration?
many thankx

Can I run two DSL lines into my airport network?

I have a 1.5M line from Qwest and can not get faster speed from anyoe else in my semi-rural community. Can I run two 1.5 DSL lines into one or two airport extremes and get the equivalent of a 3.0 line?

If I have two DSL lines each connected to its own Actiontec modem with each modem connected via ethernet to its own airport extreme then it sounds like I need to have two wireless networks to take advantage of the second DSL connection. Correct? We have a lot of computers being used in the household so could put the kids on their own network.
Apparently the airport extreme can not manage a network with two internet connections even if they are connected via separate airport extremes? I have worked at companies that have done this for internet connection redundancy purposes so there must be devices that can handle this.

Can I use the pdf fax with a DSL line

Can I use the pdf fax with a DSL line and, if so, how do I get the pdf fax modem to appear in my printer options? No Modems appear in my Modem pop-up menu.
Thanks,

Should I be able to fax using the internal fax software if I set it up with the proper settings?
Yes, if it's not a purely Digital line, dial that FAX number on your Phone, does it answer with a screech?
Must I disconnect all my other lines in order to use this?
No, you shouldn't need to... do you have DSL Filters on all lines except the DSL connection, like these...
http://www.twacomm.com/info/DSL_Filters.htm
Oh, it's not clear, do you have 2 actual Lines/Phone numbers, or do they share the same line?

Linking devices that use seperate routers with 2 seperate dsl lines.

Basically at home i have a setup like this using two different dsl lines.
DSL-Line1 > Wireless Router/Modem1 > laptops/games consoles using it.
DSL-Line2 > Wired Router/Modem > wired pc's/file server.
Basically i'm wondering if i replace the wired router/modem with something like a wag320n is there a way to link the two wireless networks together so the games consoles/laptops can get access to the pc's/file servers, but have them still using the seperate dsl lines?,
ie being able to see each other but still using dsl-line1 internet access for the games consoles etc, and the pc/fileservers using dsl line 2.
Thanks

You can connect both routers with an ethernet cable. Example setup:
Wireless router: LAN IP 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0. DHCP server enabled for 192.168.1.100-149.
Wired router: LAN IP 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0. DHCP server disabled.
Everything which is supposed to go through the wired router must have a static IP address configured on the device itself. You configure an IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.200, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.2 and dns 192.168.1.2. Now that computer will use the wired router as internet gateway.
All devices which still use DHCP to obtain an IP address will connect through the wireless router to the internet.
Inside your LAN you have full connectivity.

Verizon refuses to disable ASSIA on my dsl line

For the past 8 months I've had problems with the internet speed lowering, so once a month I've had to call Verizon tech to trouble shoot and reset my line. Same thing for months! Anyway, this past week they sent a tech out to check my lines, and as usual, nothing is wrong (they've come out many times). So...they decide to send out yet another Actiontec GT784WNV, my current one is only 3 months old, the previous one was barely a year old! They keep saying it's the modems! And the thing is tech has actually said they see nothing wrong with my modem, then I get transferred to someone else saying it is the modem! It just goes around and around.
I've spent hours upon hours talking with tech and there's never a solution. I came here to the forums looking for anything that might help... I came across a few posts regarding ASSIA, that's the program that Verizon uses to "optimize" the dsl line and it seems that is what might be causing the problem on my line. In the posts about ASSIA people have said to call Verizon and get them to disable ASSIA on the dsl line and to get the speed reset. It looks like the people with my problem that have gotten it disabled has fixed the issue. So, I decide to give it a try, and call Verizon to get it disabled. Nope, they won't do it because it cannot be done. I pointed out that other customers have had it done, still no. Then they gave me another excuse: they WON'T disable it because it's not part of their troubleshooting. They keep escalating the issue (3 times this week alone) but nothing is ever fixed and I never get called back! And when I came across the one thing that might actually fix the problem they refuse to do it!! I even showed the phone tech the pages on the Verizon forum where they are talking about ASSIA and how disabling it has helped (we were on screen sharing) and that was completely ignored. Unbeliveable!
I'm on a dry loop and my line is provisioned for 7 mbs.
So here I am posting this because Verizon phone tech will not help.
Solved!

My mac wifi connection to DSL line was down when I tried to upgrade Ipad to IOS6, and it defaulted to Ipad data line and consumed my monthly allotment of data -- How can that happen as a technical matter?

Maps did not work for me for the first week after upgrading to IOS6 on my New Ipad -- I have since learned that I exceeded my 2 gig monthly data plan and therefore I had no 4G access on my ipad, which meant Maps couldn't work while traveling. Since I never download videos, I knew I had not knowingly downloaded that much data. When I called AT&T, they told me that when I upgraded to IOS6 I consumed over 1 gig of data.
I did the upgrade while connected to my iMac, which in turn has a wireless connection to router connected to my home DSL line.   My wifi service has been spotty lately, possibly because router is defective. So let's assume that when I tried to download IOS6 that my iMac did not have a good wifi connection. Is the AT&T person correct that the download defaults to the Ipad's 4G cellular network, even though the iPad is connected to the iMac by USB cable? I didn't think that was possible as a technical matter -- i.e., that the iMac gets automatic access to the iPad's connection to the cellular network. (I'm sure I'm not explaining this right, I'm obviously not technical.)
Also, do you get any obvious warning or indicator on the device that you have exceeded your data limit for the month? I sure didn't see any warning, (although I now know that I can go to Settings, then Cellular Data, then View Account and find the status of my data line account).
Thanks for any help on this.

Strange. It works fine with my setup which is no different from yours. Problem with the cable or LAN port(s)?

DSL line drop problems

I've had BT Broadband for about 2yrs with no problems, then from the end of January I've had repeated line drops.
The HH recovers sometimes straight away, sometimes after 2 to 5 drops in quick succession. each time the line speed is good but the connection only lasts a day or so.
I logged a fault and had a engineer check the line - no fault found
I logged another fault and got the HH3 swapped for a HH4
I'm connected the HH to the test socket
I've replaced the filter
I've run it with no phone
And still after 6 weeks the same problem is there. My conclusion is that it's somewhere upstream in the exchange as Ican't see what else I can do.
Any suggestions appreciated

DSL line at two locations

We have the need to establish a network that connects the VolP phones in the garage of a ranch house and the WiFi network in the remainder of the ranch house.
We have extentions of the DSL line at two locations. 1. At the garage and 2. In the other side of the house.
We have purchased a SPA2002 and a WRT54G WIRELESS-G ROUTER, can you give me instructions as to how to do it?
I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE, SO PLEASE KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR ME.

my connection is currently:
DSL line rate: 912 Kbps upstream, 8375 Kbps downstream
DSL noise margin: 5.90 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream
is it ever likely to change ?

DSL line installation

Hi, we live in a rural area in western PA and are currently not offered DSL service. This is rather infuriating, as the very next house on our road DOES get DSL. Is there any way--anyone I can call--to have a verizon technician install a DSL line on the telephone poles running by our house? I currently have verizon wireless mobile broadband access, and to be honest, it isn't that bad, but I would still greatly prefer DSL, as it is faster and the service is not affected by the weather.

While you're on your DSL connection, could you please paste the output of the below?

DSL line analysis

This is a rather technological question but do the engineers at verizon have the ability to analyze the DSL line for say the past 3-4 months to determine if in fact audio and video(increase packets of data---moreso than just telephone conversations) were transmitted over the line. Perhaps a verizon engineer could comment. Sort of like a forensic analysis of the DSL line for the past 3-4 months. Thanks ---Stanley

Hey stanley, we can do a reading on the network from now to 24hrs or 48hrs but we can't go back 3-4 months in the past to analyze your service.
