How to set up a internent connection for 2 companies both with independent lines using a single broadband connections and DrayTek V2930VN Wirelss Router/Firewall with VoIP.

The easiest solution is to use a simple router (wired-only) to connect to your Internet Service Provider.

Run a cable from one of the LAN ports on the router to a wired/wireless router, to provide access for the first company's computers.

Run another cable from another of the LAN ports on the router to a wired/wireless router, to provide access for the second company's computers.

Slow Internet Connect

i have the same router. I recommend that you download a new driver of your lan card for your desktop pc, also if you have P2P and bittorrent applications, try to disable them first and see the difference, those programs slow down the your internet, because they hog your bandwidth and connects to multiple users.
