Hi all,

Does anyone know how to use 2 broadband connections at the same time?

I have 2 broandband lines and I have a Linksys router at home. I would like to know can I connect both broadband at the same time? The linksys router has only one wan port, so how can I plug 2 connections into one wan port? Is there any additional hardware so that I can divide the linksys wan port into 2?

Any comments are welcome :)

Hi all,

I just found a dual wan port router.

But it's rather expensive. Is there any other method?

Hey...I might just buy that since I have 2 computers on dsl and 3 on cable. I didnt know that could be done!

Hi Wavmeister,

How many connections and pc you have? that router got only 2 wan port, is it enough for you? Are you going to try?

oh, it really temp me to get one. But $400 for home use, is it worth for it? I got to think about it.
