Multiple cable modem in Charter HSI/CATV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r8609088 en Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:34:42 EDT Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:34:42 EDT Multiple cable modems - go right on ahead! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8615335 Jerm : I do this for lan parties all the time, in fact yesterday I just moved my cable modem to a friends house for a Thanksgiving lan :)

When you hook everything up, make sure to check signal levels (»192.168.100.1, -15dB downstream min, 55dB upstream max) -> and remember splitters add extra loss. Just note when moving a cable modem it might take a bit longer than normal to sync up.

The reality is, normally you don't actually *need* extra modems for a lanparty. Most games use very little upload. For first person shooters 4-6 people is about the max you can get on 128kbps upload. If you play RTS or MMORPGs they use even less bandwidth. One nice advantage of having a second modem however is to force anyone who wants to run P2P apps on the extra modem, because that *will* affect pings.

Go ahead and try it, it will not hurt anything at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8609738 Wed, 26 Nov 2003 02:33:19 EDT Re: Multiple cable modem http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8609239 Axilla : it might get a little messy if you have all those modems on the same network, otherwise in thoery they should all be able to connect. Ive never heard of anyone trying that though.
