Here is my situation I live with another roomate and we both have our own seperate cable modems and accounts we want to know if there is a router that will allow us to connect both of our broadband connections and have it feed into one computer, in essence use two cable modem's bandwidth into one computer for a super fast connection, I looked at Intel's Express 9300 Router and it said it had 2 WAN ports, is that something along the right lines that I would need? If there is a router that can do this what kind is it?
Thanks in advance!

I may have no idea what i'm saying here, but I would think you would at least need 2 NICS in that one computer. Correct me if I am wrong people. :)

I may be wrong but from what I have read the routers will only really give you load balancing- not double the bandwidth. YeOldStonecat on here would know the right answer :)

The nexland router i have linked in my previous post allows you to use 2 Cable modem accounts together as one. The router has 2 WAN ports. So its possible, but for about $399.99
