Is there a way to converge 2 dsl lines to create a faster home network.?

Bringing in two dsl lines into a router and then sending it out over the home network as one connection...

Answer 1

What your trying to do is called ADSL multiplexing. To do this you would need a Load balancing router.

Answer 2

People used to do this back in the day with 2 dial-up modems. It could be done. But I think you would get more speed for your money by just upgrading your DSL speed (if possible) or switching to cable (again, if possible). Because you would have to pay for 2 seperate DSL lines otherwise.

Answer 3

You can use a load balancer to do multiple tasks at once over two connections, but getting the two connections to act as one is a little trickier. Search for "bonded dsl" and you'll find some articles on how to do this.



Also, check out http://www.hotbrick.com - they make some routers that do load balancing, failover, etc.

That velocity might probable be ok for enjoying one pastime at a time yet once you think of you would be enjoying a pc pastime on line on the comparable time as your brother is making use of Xbox stay then you definitely'll probable desire a quicker connection. this might depend upon the video games nevertheless and how lots community site visitors they generate. those expenditures additionally seem very costly for this manner of slow connection. I would desire to admit i'm from uk so i don't know what expenditures are like in the U. S. regardless of the undeniable fact that it may well be a entire rip off right here.

Answer 5

If you have a cable company in the area offering broadband, upgrade. Cable is far faster.



As for converging two lines, I suppose you might be able to hack something up, but it would not be practical at all.

Answer 6

no because you would need the cable company to pump out larger bandwidth to you.

The router does exactly the opposite -- it assigns (breaks up the signal sent to you)



the only thing you can do is purchase a faster connection or go with Verizons latest light signal..wFIOSK I think is what its called.

Way faster than cable
