    Question Sharing Broadband Connection between 2 houses in same compound

    Hi,

    I need to use the same internet connection in 2 of my houses in the same address. There is a 10 meter gap between the 2 houses and they are in the same compound. If I use a single modem & wireless router there will a problem when someone needs to browse at midnight then they will have to walk up/midnight call to the house where the modem is present then switch on & after usage switch off.
    So I'm planning to use the regular ADSL2 modem from ISP in 1 house & buy a ADSL2+ modem wireless router in the other house so that they can switched on & off independently but still use the same Broadband Connection.

    Questions
    1) Is this possible?
    2) Which ISP is better for this scenario? Airtel, BSNL, Reliance?
    3) Which ADSL2+ modem wireless router do you suggest?

    Thanks
    Mohan

    I'm having 3 computers (2 Desktops & 1 Laptop). Currently I've taken 2 Internet connections from Airtel & Tata Indicom. I want to go this route to reduce the bill and also add Wireless Internet to our compound.

    Thanks

    Thanks alot essbebe. I can feel its only a matter of time before I start saving money with only 1 internet connection. I'm happy with my Airtel connection so i'm gonna stick to just Airtel. I'm currently using Beetel 220BX Adsl2+ Modem in 1 house. I shall ask Airtel to give an extension to the other house & then cancel my TataIndicom Internet there.

    Some more questions
    1) What are Airtel WIFI model Beetel 110TC1 & Beetel 450TCI ( WIFI)? Are they Wireless routers? What is the difference between these two & which is better based on features, range (will i be able to use wifi in both houses?). There are 3 walls & 10 meter gap seperating the future wifi device in 1 house & the other house.

    2) Do I need to buy ADSL2+ modem seperately? Will Airtel sell this or do I buy it outside? If I buy it outside are there any specifications that it needs to adhere to? Do you have any suggestions?

    3) Also since Airtel has Bandwidth based plans I would need a desktop or router based program to monitor the usage so that way I can maintain the usage within the prescribed limit.

    Thanks
    Mohan
