ole 你发的文章很感人,因此觉得不回答你的问题实在不应该.咱们这个论坛上有不少电脑高手不知为何不回帖.我没见过加国的cable上网设备,但就国内设备推测,不论是adsl还是cable方式,在用户侧你所能做的无非就是加一个分支器,做到一分二(甚至一分多),作用类似局域网中的集线器(HUB),路由器应该是用不上的.另外,我不知道国外的电信运营商是否聪明到怕多人共用而采取了一些措施加以限制,比方说在局端对你的用户设备做了MAC地址绑定等.
As you told that you are sharing one bed room, the problem is does your monthly rental cover high speed interent? or does your landlord willing to share his/her service with you? it cost 50 dollar per month.
If so, a router can fix your problem, ask your landlord if he has, otherwise buy one yourself around 29-35 dollar. cable is exactly same with yours brought from China.
