I have a DHCP Broadbank Wi-fi connection, I want to share same internet speed to all the system., now for the first IP-192.168.1.2 if I connect only to single system without hub the actual speed will come, if I share to hub or switch speed will share to half. Is the way to share same speed all the systems?

Hello Mr. Leo
My question is , let's consider I've 2 internet connection from 2 service providers. Can I connect both to a single router and enjoy the sum of both connection speed from that router when only 1 PC connected to that router?

if i have 1 decorder and several screens,and i want to watch various and different channels,on different screens,what should i do?.
I have no idea - what's a "decorder"? This article is about computer networking, not about screen management. The later depends on the specifics of the equipment you're talking about.

Hello, I have one PC amd I use wave broadband in Sandy Oregon which uses a cable modem. I have a 5 port switch, and a linksys wireless hot spot with only one port which is the ethernet input. I connected it to my switch, along with a Vonage VOIP, and an AT&T minicell. The problem is I can ony get one thing to work at a time, I connect my VoIP, and it works great but no enternet, and so on. Can I use a switch in this way or will I need a roughter? Thanks in advance for you time.
1) assume we have an ADSL connection and we have 3 computers connected to internet via a router, so we have 3 IP addresses now, does the ISP understand that i am using 3 IP Addresses?
2) i checked something (and it was so weird) in my university (where computers are connected via routers) i search the net for "what is my ip address" on two computers, and chose one of the google results, the website showed ONE IP for BOTH computers, it means it didn't understand that i am using two different computers, so how the website would tell the router that which computer is requesting which webpage?

1) The ISP can only see the IP address of the router.
2) The same reason as 1, the address returned by "what is my ip address" is the ip address of the router. The router is a hardware firewall and that's all that anything on your side of the router can see. "What is my ip address" is coming from from a website which can't see past the firewall.

thank you very much. number 1 was clear but about question number 2 ...
let's assume we have 2 computers, computer 'A' and computer 'B' which have access to internet via a router, i am trying to open my gmail account on 'A" and X(someone else) is trying to access his account on 'B', the router sends request to gmail.
1. how gmail understands that it is from two different computers? i don't know the answer but i guess it understands in a way which is NOT my ip address did i guess right? if i guessed right HOW does it understand that? (it usually understands because when i open a new tab (in for example firefox) entering "gmail.com" and i had been singed in, it wouldn't show the "sign in" page, gmail understands that i had been signed in, it knows it's the same computer requesting)
2.Why my gmail account is not opened in 'X' s computer? is the router intelligent enough to trace two similar packages (the only difference is the user and pass entered - isn't it?) and understands which one is for which computer?
The router keeps track of which connection comes from which computer, and thus where any responses should go. Look up NAT or Network Address Translation on Wikipedia or other refernence sites for more details.

That sounds like it would be cookies on the machines, rather than the router helping gmail 'remember' your computer.
One thing that is cool is that the cookies are browser specific. If you want to try an experiment: go to the computer that remembers you signed in with gmail, and then try it from a different browser and see if it still remembers. For instance, if you usually use IE, then use Chrome or Firefox. Probably the different browser window will act like it's never been to gmail before. And then you know it's cookies.
