I'm moving about 100 yards from my old house and we will both have the same phone/dsl line. Right now there is a router/modem(all in one) in the old house. Now we ran that same phone line out to the new house, and I want to use that internet. I rather not use a wireless connection either. Is it possible to just connect another modem into the line in the new house, if so what else needs to be done?
-
Sorry but there can only be on dsl modem per activated line. That's just the way the electronics work in the dslam.
-
You can get another router, and set it up as a repeater. But that would require some in-depth configuration.
-
Do I have any other options besides running ethernet cable out there or going wireless?
-
cat5 cable?
-
ouch, I've housed and ran cat5e cable underground about 75 feet to get cable, and lemme tell you, its torture.... It was cheap though, I used garden hose to house it...

That's it.
-
And 100 yards of wireless would be expensive/difficult.
-
Actually you could do 100 yards of wireless for under $200.00. Set up an access point at the first house with a directional antenna and another one wit ha directional antenna at the new house.
-
It requires some tricky stuff, but all last week I was using internet from a friend who was atleast 100 yards away...
-
Now I had someone on another forum say that you can put an ethernet end on your phone line coming out of the wall. Is this true? Also if I go wireless what will my download speeds and connectivity be like.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it.

A regular Ethernet plug would not fit a phone line jack. The converse works, though, as long as the Ethernet line is not actually connected to anything live.
-
It terms of wireless, the max speed for 802.11g wireless is 54 Mbit/sec (b is 11), but that's in ideal conditions. Connectivity all depends on what equipment you use and how you set it up. I'd really suggest running ethernet.

I think he means cutting off the end, and putting an Ethernet plug on it.
-
A phone wire doesn't have as many wires either...

On a normal Ethernet wire, only four are used. I know cuz I've made a bunch.
