| Most cable and ADSL modems these days have a USB port rather than ethernet. You typically have to pay extra for an ethernet connection. This makes sense as it means that the connected PC can use it's typical one ethernet port to share the connection with a LAN without having to install an extra port. So why do none of the consumer grade WiFi Router/AP/Hub combination boxes have a USB port for the WAN side of the box? Surely direct connection to an ADSL or Cable modem is their primary market? If you have this setup of a USB modem and Ethernet Wifi box, how are you supposed to rig everything up? ADSL - Modem - PC - WiFI - LAN ? In which case, the router functions are unused. Or do you have to buy a USB-Ethernet adapter to go ADSL - Modem - Adapter - Wifi. [from: JB Wifi] |
