Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - USB or Ethernet for cable modem connection

Another vote for ethernet. I`m just switching to DSL from cable for a HUGE savings. The ethernet has always cooperated with my various routers and computers no problem. This new modem with built in router has ethernet along with a USB option which of course requires alot more cofiguration to get going. Not to mention the internal router is screwing with mine. I went through 4 Verizon tech support people yesterday before one would admit it had a router which I was locked out of. I`m working on getting just the plain modem out of them that I wanted in the first place. Speed is good for me so far in case anyone was wondering.
