How to connect 2 computers to INTERNET independently?
Hello everybody,
I am on a mission to find out how to properly connect 2 computers to the same Internet "pipeline" (cable Internet - provider: Videotron - Canada) in an independent fashion so that when I shut down one computer, I do not lose the phone lines and my wife's computer still gets an Internet connection to the outside world.
We are using Windows 7, the computers are brand new and the Internet connection is strong, but the moment I shut down my computer, within 5 minutes my wife computer will lose her Internet line and the phones will die.
I am at a loss as to how to solve this since I have tried all combinations, permutations, you name it and nothing seems to work.
Could it be my Internet provider's fault or am I doing something wrong when I connect everything to the router.
Items:
2 computers, 1 tab, 2 Iphones
1 Linksys router
1 modem from Videotron (the Internet provider)
Windows 7 - x64
Please help me solve this conundrum. I know that I need a fresh take from A-Z, on how I should be doing things so the network works regardless of either computers being on or off.
Thank you kindly for your support.
