Thread: 2 wireline routers/modems - which one is good? Need link to tutorial too

Hi,

I have 2 wireline routers for my Tata broadband connection as follows;
1] TAD100 ADSL2+ modem/router - This is the one I am using at present. This also has a USB interface for internet connection.
Can I use both RJ45 and USB connection for 2 different machines and have internet connectivity on both simultaneously?

2] Billion Bipac 5200S ADSL2+ modem/router

Which one is better out of these?

Also, when login to these routers there are lot of configuration for WAN, LAN etc. I am unable to understand anything in this. Please help me with some guide or some tutorial which explains in details about each and every parameter and also what impacts will we have if we change values for these parameters.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rahul
