How to configure more than one LAN from single broadband modem

[Rampage]

I want to share a broadband modem and access internet from other computer. These two computers are not connected. I want to set network using a wireless access point and two wireless network cards. One computer will attach to access point and other to broadband access point. Please someone tell me other possible ways to share a broadband modem. Is there any other way of sharing the modem using adapters/ or extensions, like sharing the telephone line?

Sharing of modem depend on its LAN port numbers. If it has single port then you have to use switch. Using switch connect all computers with modem. Else you can use router and share internet connection between computers. The number computers which can be connected to modem is depends on the number of ports available with modem. Else you can use your set up. Connect modem with one computer and keep it as gateway to which second computer will connect. With router is computer is independent, where as the gateway aspect will require first computer to be on in order to go online.

If wifi is not there in system you can install wifi. You can use your current modem provided that if it has 2 ethernet ports and make connection using RJ45 Cable maximum distance of cable without hub is 300ms. Else if your modem doesn’t have 2 ethernet port then buy a hub which will at least have 8ports. You can use any connections which are mentioned here.
