Is it possible to run 2 routers from the same phone socket?

You just need to add a switch for extra ports.

Leave your wireless router connected to the DSL line. Since both of your devices are gateways with built-in modems, only one may be connected at a time.

You can probably find a used swicth for $15 or so... otherwise check Ebay, Amazon, local computer stores etc.

your BT home hub will provide you with the internet as that is provided by BT both the home hub and the router give you wireless so that's not the problem as you just set up either the router ot home hub for wireless

the home hub has 2 ethernet ports so connect the netgear router to one of these using the ethernet cable on the back of the netgear there is four ethernet ports and the router will work as a switch (will delegate the flow of information between each port)

BT probably won't allow you to have both devices hooked in and functioning directly as ADSL modems unless you pay two subscriptions. Typically their hardware identifies a built in address on the modem, and associates it with your address / billing. I'm not sure running two ADSL modems over the same link to the local switching office is a supported configuration in any case.

I'd recommend mothballing your netgear, and instead buying a nice ethernet switch such as a netgear GS605, which runs 32 GBP at dabs.com. Unfortunately your current netgear router doesn't have an ethernet WAN port, just the ADSL modem connection.

Connect one of the LAN ports on your home hub to the WAN port on your new switch, and hook the PC's into the LAN switches. ebay your old ADSL router unless you want to hold onto it.

you could in straight forward terms have one router working on one line at one time , and one broadband connection on one line at one time. in case you connect up 2 routers one will sync and the different won't, or they the two would no sync. if your having prompt issues attempt changing your prompt channel additionally attempt paying for a cable router and plugging it into your adsl router and disable NAT so it runs as an get entry to evaluate straight forward terms. you could attempt moving your grasp socket (not allowed yet once you do a neat sufficient interest no-one would be conscious) to a different room if the cable is long sufficient and shop your router there and notice if the sign is any extra advantageous. As i stated moving your BT grasp socket isn't allowed yet once you're neat sufficient approximately it and an engineer comes around they wont be conscious something.

use the wireless one and then get a 8port switch

have 1 ethernet coming from the wireless into the switch and then wire all the others from the switch

if you run out of ports again, just add another switch

Just link the routers together using an ethernet cable.

Login into the admin console and check that the modes are setup correctly.

Hi,

You need a Internet 8 Port Switch or networking Switch, by that you can use you all system.

You can't run two modems on the same phone line.

(both routers have a modem build in)
