I posted a previous thread on this about this question but now I am even more confused. So I still live with my parents and I currently stay in the basement. The master bedroom is on the second floor (2 floors above the basement), and the Century Link AC1000 Modem/Router is located there. I had countless WiFi adapters and I am currently using a PCE AC68 which is the best there is right now as of adapters but I am still only barely able to get one bar.
My parents are in a contract bundled through DirectTV + Century Link services. The internet plan only gives us 12 MBPS. Even though I can get a connection this speed is way way too slow for my gaming needs since there are already over 8 devices on the network alone. Upgrading with CenturyLink to higher speeds will cost my dad extra and remove the bundle which will increase the TV bill as well. Now my plan is to create another account with Century Link and get another service separate from my dad. So 2 ISP service from CenturyLink in one home with 2 ADSL routers on 2 different jacks. FYI this isn't a business account that adds another router to my house with the same service my dad has. I am plan create a new ISP account that gets 40 Mbps for another service. So I talked to Century Link and had 2 reps help me. Both of the have different answers. The first one has told me that it should be possible since I have 3 phone jacks in my house and the second one told me it wouldn't as it would cause problems. Now on my other post a member has told me that if the routers are ADSL they are able to balance connections separately without problems. Now my question is since I have 3 phone jacks in the house aren't they all connected to one line or each jack contains their own separate line? The second question is would I be able to run a separate ISP account service from my dad's, which gives us 2 Modem/Routers in separate accounts in the same home? I apologize for the long essay but I thank you in advance.
