Is it possible to use 2 x DSL modems at the same time?

ADSLUSER

Does anyone know if it's possible to use 2 x DSL modems at the same time? I have wireless at home but it doesn't reach the far end of my garden and I was wondering if I can plug in another DSL wireless modem router at the other end of my house. My current wireless router doesn't support WDS so I can't wireless bridge another access point.

i suppose it might be possible if you plugged one router into the other one (if you know what i mean). But i couldn't guarentee that.

Basically your setup would be like this: wirelesscomputer>wirelessrouter>normalrouter>internet.

The problem is that the two routers are too far apart. I'm considering investing in the Apple Airport Express if I can plug in two ADSL modems at the same time.

Why not just get a beefier aerial?

Sounds like a non-runner to me. Are you wondering because you already have a phone connection at the far end of the network? I don't think you could add a second adsl signal onto an existing line. Seems like you're options are a better wifi antenna (can be homemade - http://www.wireless.org.au/~jhecker/ ) or lay some cat 5 down your garden.

Buy a wireless access point, and connect it using ethernet to your existing dsl wireless modem router

and buy a long cable.

A really long cable.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I really don't want to buy another cable i.e. the whole point of wireless. I might just move my existing wireless router modem to a more central location in the house.

As mentioned above - get a wireless access point - I thought this is exactly what they're for???

Unfortunately my Wireless router doesn't support WDS so I can't get another wireless access point to extend my current wireless network.
