Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Wireless Network Trouble, Need Help Sharing DSL

Hi, I'm relatively new to the networking scene and I have a question. I have a friend living in my basement that gets his internet through Qwest and has his own modem and router hooked up to it. We thought we'd go in on the internet together but I have my own Belkin Wireless N+ router that I would rather use, since I'm a gamer and don't want 802.11b. I don't really want to set up my router in the basement because I have an external Hard Drive hooked to it, plus I want to get the best reception. The other problem is the upstairs has a different phone line than downstairs (even though neither of us use the phone line for phones) , so we can't put the modem up here. My questions are: (1) is there any way to use my Belkin Router to receive his wireless signal, vamp it up, and broadcast it in my floor without sacrificing gaming speed? (2) Would there be a way to have Qwest put both phone lines on the same account and add another modem in my part of the house? (3) Or is there any way of doing this other than drilling a hole in my floor and running an Ethernet cord from his router to mine? Thanks for the help.

P.S. I do believe that my router can become/act like an Access Point, whatever that means

Hi. You cannot link phone lines like that really. So either you can run cable through floor or link your wireless to his. Basically you set your router to connect to his via bridging. It should be in documents. Now note that this will make you receive internet at his speeds and wireless speeds. Internal to your network on your router with be N speeds but it all matters what he is giving you because he kind of becomes your ISP. I would think a wire would be the better route if you were going to do this between his router and yours.

How about you switch to being the source connection. Then either do ethernet cable to him or have his wireless connect to yours. That way you get the fastest speeds and he is at the speed he is at...

Basically whenever you link things in a chain you want the fastest stuff to always be as the source. The slowest stuff at the end of the chains...

Thanks for the solution provided.

However, by the mid eighties, the disaster at Chernobyl and other political issues meant that development effectively stalled – the building was finished, but none of the radioactive materials were there; the government abandoned it, and the German taxpayer was effectively left with a concrete shell costing 3.5 billion euros.

When a dutch businessman bought the complex in 1995, he decided to turn it into a hotel and amusement park – ‘Kernwasser Wunderland’, which translates rather unappealingly to ‘Nuclear Water Wonderland.’ By far the coolest activity in my eyes has to be the ability to both go inside and free climb up the huge painted cooling tower.

Despite the obvious stigma of holidaying at a Nuclear Power plant, over half a million people visit annually. And if you still have a nagging worry, you can be reassured by their slogan – “this whole complex guaranteed free of radiation!”
