Using two Modems on one phone jack

Hey Guys,
I have a wireless modem/router with one pc wired in and the other (about 11 meters away) using a Netgear wireless USB stick. Thing is - the wireless pc shows a signal strength of 'very good' occassionally down the scale to 'not connected' too often.

I know this is prolly a stupid question, but I have another modem and wanted to know if it's possible to use both modems on the one phone line as there is a phone jack in each room?

Hello Den,

Have you tried using a different channel on the wireless connection?

 

Hey Matt,
I'm a little new to wireless but I'll look at that option.

Regards my OP - I realised how stupid the question was later when it hit me that once you log onto your ISP with one modem, you CAN'T with another modem...DOH!!!!

If you have a few brick walls between the wireless connections, you might be paddling up that creek. My sister has double brick walls and I only get a weak signal from virtually only a few feet away.

Can you run a LAN/Ethernet cable through the crawl spaces in the house?

If you are stuck, investigate "IP over Power" where the network can run through the power (electricity) connections in your house.
