Question by à®±ojtaba:

How is it possible to connect two computers to the internet simultaneously using an ADSL router?

My ASUS AM602 modem is also a router (written on the box). One computer is connected via LAN port to the modem and the other one is connected through the USB port to it. But each computer can connecto to the internet ONLY when the other one is not connected. What settings should I configure to use both computers connected to the internet at the same time?

Many router/modems do not allow simultaneous USB/Ethernet functionality.


You need an Ethernet switch - like this one:

You connect the switch to your router; then each PC into a port on the switch.

There is no configuration to the switch; it's just plug & play!
