Setting up a second adsl modem

[RayEightPie]

Hello,

I have a modem/router at one end of my house, but the WiFi doesn't reach the other end of the house (where I have my other PC). If I bought a second modem/router and plugged it in next to my computer, would that work?

and if so, would I have to turn one modem off to use the other?

Thanks in advance

Nope, you can only have one modem per phone line, or you might be able to get it to work by turning one modem on at a a time, but this would become a big headache very quickly. A wireless repeater might be your best (easiest) choice just to increase your range, or even just a better/bigger antenna on your wireless router.
