Connecting 2 ethernet cables on a one slot ethernet modem?
ok i have 2 cables one for my xbox live and one for my internet computer. my modem only has one ethernet slot. so i have to switch it everytime i want to use one thing. if i wanna use my xbox live i have to disconnect the internet on my pc and if i wanna use the internet i have to disconnect the xbox live cable. question is. is there a way to connect both cables at the same time so that i can use the internet while playing on xbox live? most of you are gonna answer "get a router" but thats the problem i dont want to buy expensive routers. i heard that ethernet cable splitters work. will this work in my case? also how do you connect a router anyway? connect the two lines on a router? wtf? i have no idea what a router does.
Is it possible to use an ethernet splitter to split a CAT5 cable coming from a modem into two different NICs?
I build a router, it's running ClearOS, it has a DNS server DHCP server, and a firewall active. However, I am getting a lot of invalid packets (huge DDOS attack from a 1 g/bit pipeline). My firewall filters these out, but the sheer magnitude of this attacks insures that at least 10% of them get through, which is 100mbits compared to my 30mbit connection, so all access to the internet is completely brought down. I was wondering, my router has support for multiple external NICs, multi WAN support, can I buy a simple CAT5 splitter, split a line, one into one NIC, one into the other, and then use it that way? So when the attack comes, one external IP is brought down, but not the other. I thought about this, then realized it would only be completely possible if someone was there to unplug the cable from the NIC being attacked, because the NIC being attacked would take up all of the bandwidth, am I right? Or does the cable need not be unplugged?
Can I use an existing ADSL2+ splitter / filter with Australian National Broadband Network modem? Can I discard the portable phone and continue to use the existing touch-tone phone that requires no power? There are no convenient mains power sockets.
If you’ve been connected to the NBN, chances are any existing copper connections have been retired. I may be wrong but in both premises I’ve lived in connected to the NBN via Fibre to the Premises, this has been the case.TLDR; No, you can’t. The NBN distro box won’t supply voltage to the old phone.
Can cable companies detect if you're using your internet cable for cable tv?
There are two types of signals traveling down most cables system lines. Analog and Digital. Digital is then split further into Internet and digital TV. Both of these need a digital converter. Cable modem for Internet and a digital cable box for Digital Cable TV. These two can be turned off by the cable company at will. Now if you put an illegal cable TV converter box on your line, the cable company can trace it right up to your house / apartment. If you have Internet, you may be able to connect the cable to your TV and get the basic analog signals (channels 2 - 75) without the cable company knowing it. That is if the cable company did not put a filter block in the line. This block is a mechanical piece about an inch or two in length and is usually on at the pole. Although some times it is put in lower to the ground. Remove it, reconnect the cable and the analog signal will pass. Note: Not all cable companies use the analog signal. some are 100% digital. Also a port block may require a special tool to remove it. But since the analog signal is not traceable, try it.
Is it possible to split a dsl connection with a phone jack splitter?
None of the existing telecommunications providers will allow more than one terminating device for DSL on your end. A terminating device is a DSL modem. The nature of the ADSL protocol that is used for DSL connections doesn't allow a one - to - many connection inside of your house. That said, you can only have one single DSL modem for each DSL line. What you want to accomplish cannot be done.
Can routers connect to ADSL through an RJ-45 cable instead of a phone line?
This reads more like something you should take up with customer support, I am guessing you haven't nailed down Chinese good enough to get that to work for you.It seems like you firstly need a DSL splitter/filter, they look like this:And you connect them like this:If you have more than one phone connection you might also need another kind of filter on each of those that you use: And secondly, you might have to configure your router with the correct connection type, and possibly username/password, apply that and then wait a while, an hour at most.If you are using a TP-Link router with built-in ADSL-modem, you can find English manuals at www.tp-link.com.au or www.tp-link.us.
I have a connection issue with my cable line?
There is a line from the pole, it runs to my house, goes into a splitter. I have no internet, but the cable tv works fine. If i get rid of the splitter, and use a coupling, i have internet, but of course no tv. So i thought, ok i need a new splitter. Bought 3 so far, and 1 is an exact duplicate of the one the cable co used when originally installed. Still nothing, with a splitter, no internet, without the splitter, its fine. Any ideas of what i can do to have internet and tv? I have driven myself to the near crazy point =-) cable techs cant come out for a week, I don't want to wait unless i have to, thanks in advance
I have RJ45 cable connection from my ISP, but I have router with DSL (means RJ11) port. Can I connect it?
HiAn Ethernet cable from ISP is not standard. Ethernet has specific range limits so there has to be local distribution box close to you. I would not recommend this.If you want to do the following. It's at your own risk. I am neither responsible for damages or your ISP suing you.Get a simple Ethernet hub NOT a router. Do not plug in any notebooks or computers just yet. Power the hub if it's active. Plug in the cable. Check lights, if the port lights green you should be ok to proceed to next step.Plug in a computer and follow your ISP instructions to connect.If you connect ok then it should be ok to plug in your router. You will plug in the RJ45 ISP cable to the Ethernet LAN. Your PC will have to create the PPOE session.I take this precaution because of specific voltage difference on RJ45 vs RJ11. You can cook your PC and router.Try and talk to your ISP and get some advice pls before doing this.
