Shared connection for 2 homes

I am looking at sharing an internet connection with 2 homes from a cable
modem. Both houses are needing Voip access. Would 2 wireless routers work
to give me this access? The 1 house is next to and behind the other and the
routers will be on facing outside walls no more than 150' away from each
other, but going through aluminum trailer walls. Any suggestions on
equipment? I am planning on using MIMO. Thanks.

You wouldn't use two routers, and the best and most reliable thing you could
do is run an Ethernet cable between the two houses. The first house would
have the cable modem and router, and the second house would have either a
switch or wireless access point (WAP), connected to the router via the
Ethernet cable. Then you could both share internet and if you got voip
through a company like "Packet 8", the modulators just plug into the router
and switch or access point, and you can both enjoy crappy, but cheap,
telephone service
