Techie people - can two computers use the same broadband connection without being networked?

[Ellaroo]

Would love the help of techie people. Can anyone tell me: if I have a wireless broadband connection that works throughout my house (I know that more than two computers can use this at once) can I then plug a further computer into the telephone point in my garage (all on the same phone line) and use the broadband connection in there too? Would love to know this!!!! thank you!

if it's a secured network then you would need to add the one in the garage to the network. if it's not secured then you could access it if it's within range, as could your neighbours.

is that what you mean?

The thing is that the wireless broadband connection goes out of range once you're in our garage, so it would need to be actually plugged into the telephone point to work...but wondered if you can actually use the broadband in two places in this way (on the same phone line)? It is secured by the way.

So do you have a phone point in the garage?

The wireless on my laptop has stopped working so I've just got it plugged straight into the ADSL router with a long ethernet cable, and the other PCs in the house are still online through the wireless router, so I think that's the same as the situation you're describing. In other words, yes you can

Oh hang on, misread that, not sure if you can plug it into another phone point, how far is it from the garage to the phone point that your ADSL router is connected to? Can you just run a network cable?
