Thread: Multiple cable modems in one house?

I bought the thing in post 11. works perfectly. Plugged in the ethernet cable to pick up the wireless, and use the USB to power it... so if blu ray is off, it is off. was easy to set up - directions were much clearer than the reviews indicated. Have a second USB port on the front of the blu ray if I need it. if I ever needed a second one, I would buy the "open box" from newegg ... now that I know what I am dealing with

You can hook up more than one device to that access point. You would just need a switch. Those can be had for $15 or so.

Generally you can only have 1 cable modem per account. Will the USB port on the BR actually utilize a wireless adapter? It might just be for media storage type things. If you could run a cable to it that is obviously the best approach.

You could also buy a wireless router and "turn off" the routing. It would act similar to a repeater and give you that ethernet hookup you need. It will also boost your wireless signal in the area. You could get one for about $30-$40 one-time fee.
