Setting up home network sharing with ADSL Modem in easy networking (1)

For home network applications, most common home users use the ADSL access method using telephone lines most often. The popularity of computers in the family is getting higher and higher. It is quite common for a family to have more than two computers, which leads to the need for multiple computers to access the Internet at the same time.

It is not a good thing for families who use the ADSL access method to access the Internet to share an ADSL line with their neighbors. In fact, the sharing of ADSL is not a very difficult task. Anyone with a little knowledge of computer operations can complete it. Below I will introduce several ADSL sharing solutions in the home network environment.

Sharing software

This ADSL bandwidth sharing method is not often used now, mainly because a computer is required to be used as the sharing server of the entire network, other machines on the network cannot access the Internet.

If the ADSL Modem we use is a USB interface, we can only use this method to share the internet, but now the ADSL Modem basically has an Ethernet interface, or both USB and Ethernet interfaces are available. This type of modem is used only when the bandwidth of the USB interface has become popular in the past few years.

There are many such broadband sharing software. SyGate is generally used, or the "Internet Connection Sharing" function provided by Windows is used. Shows the connection method.

Use server ADLS sharing

If more than three computers in the network need to share an ADSL line, you must purchase another small switch in this way. The current ordinary SOHO mini switch is really cheap, that is, the price of an eight port is less than 100 yuan. Connect the modem to the computer that acts as the server, and then connect the NIC of the computer to the switch. Other client computers are also connected to the switch.

Configure the SyGate software on this server, but the Internet Connection Sharing function provided by the Windows system. After dialing, multiple computers can share the internet. The entire setup process is very simple and will not be detailed here.

There is also a simpler method. If you only have two computers in your home and want to share an ADSL line to access the Internet, we can also save that switch, you only need to connect the NIC of the computer that acts as the server to the computer of another client. In this case, the connected network cable needs to be crossed. Shows the connection method. The software settings are the same as those above.

Two Computers are directly connected to the Internet.

Although it is difficult to use a server to share the Internet, this method also has the advantage of allowing users to enhance control over the entire network, especially in the home environment, parents can use other advanced features provided by the shared software or install some other control software to conveniently control their children's Internet access. Such as filtering adult pornographic content on the Internet, black/white list management, and bandwidth management.
