Re: [modem/router] get a second dsl modem?
said by r1t4l1n  :My wireless router is not working with the ps3 and I have tried everything. A phone jack is conveniently located next to my tv & ps3. If I pick up a cheap verizon-compatible dsl modem, then I should be able to have 2 separate jacks that can supply the dsl connection, right? So if I want a direct connection to the ps3, I should be able to turn off my modem that's connected to the computer, then turn on the modem that's connected to the ps3 (un-sync-ing to the computer upstairs and then re-sync-ing to the ps3 downstairs), then vice-versa when I want internet connectivity to the computer. That would work, right? yes that should work, as long as both modems are configured properly, and provided that both modems are not turned on at the same time. That also depends on how Verizon has your area setup, some areas are DHCP, and others are PPPoE. The PPPoE areas are a little easier to deal with, as far as what you're considering doing, although it's doable in both areas if you know what you're doing. |
