If you mean setting up a separate cable modem, my guess is you would have to pay for a separate incoming service for that modem. Your bandwidth issues are probably due to the satellite connection limitations. If you mean setting up a separate router (for wifi or ethernet connection), you can do it, but you would still be limited by the incoming satellite connection. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you mean to have 2 modems by two different companies, yes, that is possible. However, this is a modem that works only for one ISP at a time. You can plug a router to it, but it wouldn't solve the issue of the lag that happens when gaming via satellite internet. That is a persistent issue that can't be solved because of the way that the internet arrives to your location. The only solution would be to change to a non-satellite ISP. I hope there is one in your area.
