Two routers on same phone line

From my main router I have no wireless signal in one part of the largish house. To resolve this I added a second router in that area (on same phone line).  My Ipad could be attached (separately) to both.  However, my actual phone seemed to stop working.  Was this wrong?

as imjolly has said, you can't plug 2 routers onto the same phone line.
There are some alternatives that may help. 
You could use power plugs and attach the main router (that's connected to the phone line) to the power plug by ethernet then place a wireless router to another power plug in the building by ethernet to enable wireless in that part of the building. 
I'm no expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong

  • Run two Skype accounts, same phone

    How can I run two Skype accounts on the same Android phone?

    In order to use 2 Skype accounts on the same phone, you need to switch between accounts back and forth by signing out of one and signing into the other. 
    To do that, press on the phone menu button while you are in Skype page then choose Sign Out from the menu that will appear. You will be directed to the sign in screen. Enter the other username and password

  • Setting up fax and voicemail on same phone line.

    I have one phone line with voicemail and fax.  How do I set up the fax so voicemail doesn't pick up my faxes and the fax doesn't pick up my voicemail messages?  I have the fax and phone going through a splitter.  I just discontinued my separate phone line I used for faxing and internet and want to use a single phone line for everything.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.  Auntalee

    If you have Verizon Home Voicemail (the kind you access by dialing a phone number i.e. no answering machine) I can't see how it would work. 
    Some fax machines can answer the phone listen for the fax tones and if it doesn't hear them it rings another phone or answering machine connected to it.
    It comes down to something has to answer the phone, figure out what kind of call it is a route it to either a answering machine or a fax machine.
    The only other way to do it with one line and Verizon voice mail is to get something called Distinctive Ringing service (if its available for Fios).  You get another phone number but not another physical line.  The one phone line rings differently for each number.  The fax machine must then have the distinctive ring feature and be setup to only answer it's ring.  The other ring it ignores which means VM will pick it up.
    Good luck

  • Connect to two routers at same time?

    I connect to internet throught router #1
    Set up time capsule as stand alone (i.e. did not join network on router #1).  Let's call time capsule router #2
    When I look at my wifi, I have to join router #1 and get internet access, and no access to files on time capsule OR join router #2 with access to files, but no internet access.
    Any way to join both networks (routers) at the same time?
    I know, I could set up time capsule to join the netwrk on router #1, but as stand alone, file transfer is faster.
    Thanks.

    It is not possible for the AirPort networking feature of your Mac to be connected to two wifi networks simultaneously.
    If you're going to use the Time Capsule for backup only, you're probably better off buying a FireWire hard drive since that will be much faster than any wifi-based backup device.
    Alternatively, connect your Time Capsule to "router #1" with an ethernet cable and then you can use it both for your wifi connection and backups.
    If you don't need to use "router #1" then just use the Time Capsule - it's a very good router and wifi hub.

  • Compare two invoices with same distribution line count

    I am trying to pull data out of Oracle Payables - invoices for which the invoice amount ,the vendor and distribution line count is same.
    I could achieve pulling invoices with same Vendor having same amount.But finding hard to compare the counts.
    Can anyone share ideas on how to achieve this ... Tried self join but did not work.
    The query which I used is as follows :
    select invoice_num,invoice_id,invoice_amount,vendor_id,
    (select vendor_name from apps.po_vendors where vendor_id=aia.vendor_id) vendor_name,
    (select count(*) from apps.ap_invoice_distributions_all aid where aid.invoice_id=aia.invoice_id) line_count

  • 2 Modems on the same ADSL line?

    I have a NetComm NB5Plus4W ADSL2+ modem router through which I can connect wirelessly to my iMac, MacBook and iPhone. There also another iMac at the other side of the house which rarely gets enough signal strength to connect to the internet. And due to our building type it is not realistic to establish a wired connection.
    My question is this - Is it possible to connect 2 separate modems to the same phone line to piggyback the ADSL, or do I need to use a wifi range extender? Any recommendations ...

    You could look into the line of products that use the electrical wiring to create a wired network. It's a UK site but it'll give you an idea of the products possibly available to you. Here is the link.

  • All-in-one 6830 printer Does not enter sleep mode when connected to a phone line

    HP staff  help. HP all-in-one printer 6830 does not enter sleep mode when conntected to a phone line via 1-Line jack.  The Firmware is PNP1CN1521AR. On August 1, 2015,  I purchased an HP all-in-one 6830  printer and upgraded to firmware PNP1CN1521AR.When a phone line is connected to 1-Line jack of 6830, the printer will no longer enter  sleep mode and the display remains on indefinitly.Removing the phone connection either from the wall outlet or from the printer causes the sleep mode to work correctly again where the control panel display turns off after 5 minutes (or optionally  after 10 or 15 minutes).This problem was previously reported by a user and has not been resolved, see:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Sleep-mode-of-Officejet-Pro-6830/td-p/4772182 The user did not receive a resolution to this problem according to the thread.
    There seems to be a  6830 printer firmware or hardware problem causing this. HP  should be able to confirm this problem on 6830 easily.
    Please advise ASAP.
    Thanks 

    It's a regular analog phone line. I've tested it with other phone lines. No difference. I have another all-in-one printer which works fine (goes to sleep mode) when plugged into the same phone line.
    The 6830 works ok in other aspects. The only problem is the sleep mode. Any 6830 with the firmware I mentioned should replicate the same result, regardless of anything else. The previous firmware to PNP1CN1521AR also created this problem according to the original report of this problem by another user.
    I'm sure there's a bug in the firmware. A subroutine in the firmware monitoring the incoming fax ringing, mistakenly, sees the voltage across the phone jack pins as an event and wakes up the printer instantly even though there's no ringing. As the previous user also suspected, there seems to be an error in the phone line voltage threshold used by the firmware. The present firmware always sees a ringing at the phone line which causes it to never stay in sleep mode.

  • Equium A60-191: Modem issue - Only analog phone lines are supported

    My Equium A60 was powered up when lightning struck nearby and caused the electricity supply to go off and back on.
    The OS is XP Home and my ISP is AOL. When I try to access the Net by DUN, I receive the repeated error message:
    "Connected phone line is not compatible with this modem. Only analog phone lines are supported."
    My desktop computer, which also uses AOL, still connects to the same phone line without any problem.
    I have rebooted the A60 several times; changed and tried out 2 phone connnection cables - both work; the phone line works fine; I have reinstalled the driver provided on this site; removed the tick from the box that says to wait for the dial phone; checked out that the modem is in working and on the Device Manager list. All of this is to no avail.
    Troubleshooter is suggesting that COM 3 is not enabled. I cannot see COM 3 listed in Device Manager, under Ports.
    I have tried Google and ASK with the error message. There are not many posts and it appears that the Toshiba modem is in fact an Agere. This makes seems to be the subject of some of the complaints.
    Finally I have uninstalled the driver/modem, AOL and one other DUN connection. I rebooted and went through the process of installing "New Hardware" and AOL. Whilst the modem is enabled and allegedly working... I am still unable to connect to the Net. I reinstalled an additional 'pay as you go' ISP. When I try to dial out on that it generates the error 680. It does this even when the box is unchecked, for wait for a dial tone.
    I would be most grateful if anybody could help. I have run out of ideas.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    You are right, the modem support the Agere Modem Chip.
    You will not find the COM3 in the device manager because the modem uses not real com port. Its a virtual com port.
    I think you should start the diagnostic tool test and check if the Modem has no malfunction.
    Additional you should delete the connection in the Region Select Utility and after new reboot create a new one.
    I found also the useful Microsoft article about the Troubleshooting network and dial-up connections.

  • Two phone lines on the same SIM card - but which one is active?

    I have two phone lines on my SIM card. Of course, only one of them can be active at one time. The switch between them is done through a SIM application which is loaded on the SIM card (supplied by the carrier)
    My question is that, sometimes I forget which line is the active one. Is there any way of seeing my active phone line?
    All my prior not-so-smartphones showed Line1 or Line2 in the home screen. But i could not find if iphone does this.
    P.S. settings-phone-my number does not answer this question, as it always displays the phone number that the iphone is registered to.
    Thanks

    Your husband needs to put his sim in an iPhone & turn iMessage off to fix this. If your husband setup a support profile with Apple, he can also login to that support profile & remove the phone.

  • Can you have two phone lines?

    I was just wondering if you can have two phone lines going to the same house one for home and one for business?
    If yes how would they do it? Just connect another line from the telephone graph to the house?
    Many Thanks Luke

    You can have as many phone lines to your house as you like: each pays rental.
    I work from home so have two.
    One is for phone calls only, t'other has my broadband and BTV on it.
    The phone calls only has unlimited 24/7 calls; the second comes with after 1900-0700 and free weekend calls.
    Shame BT are phasing out BT BB Talk; under that regime every customer has two phone number/lines on one copper/fibre connection

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • Using two routers for the same SSID

    So here's my story. I have a standard Actiontec router in my basment, connected straight to the coax outlet, and connected by LAN Ethernet to a crappy computer nobody uses. It gives off a WPA2 wifi network, let's call it MyNetwork. For the longest time it's been the only router in the house. The coax outlet is on a splitter, splitting the coax outlet into one wire that goes to the Actiontec modem/router and the other to my TV STB. Recently we installed a new coax outlet on the other side of my house and next to it we have a brand new desktop computer that we use often. It has no wifi so and we can't run an ethernet cable throughout the entire house so we got a new Actiontec modem/router from our neighbor who just moved out. It's the exact same Actiontec device.
    What we want to do is make it so that both routers give off signal on the same MyNetwork we have to make it a wider reaching signal, and so that I can connect the new desktop computer to the new router with an ethernet cable. I've read so many guides and they're all so confusing and it's such a mess that I almost completely screwed over my network. it seems like the two routers are completely independent of one another, not even aware of the others' existence. The new router is definitely in range of the old one. I've logged into 192.168.1.1 on the new computer and the new router seems to think it IS the old router (or so I think). It showed me all the same devices that have connected to MyNetwork and such, but then again it's always hard to be certain exactly which device is which. After messing around I must have changed some IP address or something, but it seems that 192.168.1.1 doesn't take me to the Verizon login screen, but 192.168.2.1 does. Can I reset those IP addresses?
    And of course, can somone please provide a clean, easy to follow course of action as to how to set up two routers on one network?

    I suspect it might be a good idea to step back reconsider your ultimate layout.  Essentially you now have two (or if the STB is also included, three) coax drops connected to the ONT.  It seems that you desire that one of these service the STB, and the other two each service a desktop and a wireless access point.  If this is the case, continue reading.
    There is no need to consider the original Actiontec router as the primary router, wireless or otherwise.  Use the new coax location to connect to the primary Actiontec router (you can use either router).  For starters, reset both routers to their factory defaults using the reset switch on the back of each device (for details, do a search).
    Once the primary router has been located (or relocated) to the new coax drop, just connect the new desktop there using an Ethernet cable connected to one of the LAN ports on the back of the router.  Then set up your primary wireless network based on this router (once again, do a search on these forums for specifics on setting up a basic wireless home network).
    Now use the original coax outlet where the first router was located to set up another access point.  This access point will provide Ethernet connections plus an additional wireless network (if it's still needed).  However you cannot have two wireless devices on a single home network with the same SSID (i.e., network name).  Here are details on some methods to do this:

  • Is it possible to have two numbers that ring to the same phone? I neede a Texas direct number and a Salt Lake City direct number?

    I need two phone numbers with different area codes linked to the same phone, can this be done?

    You can always port a number you already have to Google Voice. The Google Voice account has to be associated with an active cell phone number and then you can have the Google Voice number ring on whichever phone you would like, even multiple phones at the same time.
    When I signed up for Google Voice, I was able to choose a number from my locality. I wasn't necessarily able to get the exchange I wanted, but I certainly got the same area code. I don't know if it has changed since.

  • Two different Routers and same subnet, is it possible?

    Hi i have been presented with a problem that a friend of mine is having.
    There is two different Cisco routers on different location.
    example:
    router1 : 10.8.10.1 (has DHCP/FTP server)
    router2 : 10.8.12.1 (needs to talk to DHCP/FTP server on router1)
    the router2 has different ip configured but is it possible to change this to the same subnet as router 1? like 10.8.10.4?
    The DHCP/FTP server have been defined with scope 10.8.12.0 and on the Cisco switch on router2 its been configured (ip helper address DHCP-IP)
    this works, the clients connected to router2 gets ip from DHCP server ,but there is no FTP traffic.
    i figure its because the DHCP/FTP server doesent understand the other IP, so if its possible to setup a kind of mulitVPN to get the same subnet on router2 as router1 the FTP server can "see" the other router2 because it has the same subnet and ip range.
    Thank you for any experience, i really stuck on this one

    John,
    to simply put it having two routers on the same subnet is not possible as the purpose of a router is to route traffic between DIFFERENT networks. In order to accomplish this you will need routers and switches that understand VLANs and VLAN tagging.
    Hope this Helps
