asked on

Aol broadband silver

I have AOL broadband silver, which AOL does not offer support for networking

So I ask you what DSL router would be the best for home networking.

I have two computers running windows XP, and I want to be able to share my internet connection with both computers (using wireless networking equipment)

I would like to find a solution where a single does not have to be on so that the other can use the internet; I would like the network to be independent of each other

So please help me out, what router do I need?

Thank you

Can you inform me of any routers that connect to my modem, and then connect straight to the other computers?

I don’t want to have to have one computer on to serve internet to the other

(I have one computer near the modem, but I use the one upstairs a lot, and I don’t want to have the internet to go through the computer near the modem to work, because all I have heard is one computer is needed for internet to serve another)

any help will be great, thank you
ahh just read what sunray_2003  said, cheers

i'll leave this open for a little longer to see if any more help comes,

i have just got to think things through

anyways, thanks all!!!
all the routers mentioned do not require one specific machine to be on  to connect. each machine can connect to the internet regardless of the other machines status
As long as the router is on and connected, that is...  :)
nerdyneo,

It would be fair if you had split the pts in this Question as Steve and Fatal have answered your Q
>> So I ask you what DSL router would be the best for home networking.

I would appreciate if you can post a 0 pt question in community support and request the mods to open this Q so that you can come and split the pts accordingly

Thanks
