Add a dual WAN router:

I assume the 'adsl wireless router' is also your ADSL modem. Place the modem in bridge mode. You in most cases can continue to use it as a wireless AP if you choose by setting a VLAN to a LAN port, and passing the LAN port by cable to a LAN port on the dual router.

Thanks bcaster

I did not really want to buy another piece of hardware is this the only solution

No just the best one, you could hard code the IP, DNS and gateway for each device, and list different gateways so the mix was balanced over all the machines, but it will take a lot of maintenace time.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Ok jimbo

So if I set static IPs can they all be in the same range?

As an example one router could be 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.254, both would have DHCP off.

Some computers could list one gateway and others list the other (ADSL will be better for web surfing and gaming, for file transfer, either is fine)

IP address 192.168.1.15
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1

(perhaps one DNS server from each ISP)

IP address 192.168.1.145
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.254

(perhaps one DNS server from each ISP, listed in the other order)
