Help with connecting modem cable to PC
Q. i have a question.... i am not so cable modem literate so bar with me. I have a PC that has a wireless adapter in it now. we took out the original ethernet connection thing a few years ago... therefore the plug which connects the modem to the PC went with it and there isnt another one on the back of the PC.. i am not going to be in a network anymore, and i am wondering how i would connect a modem to my computer if there isnt a plug to plug in the cable into my PC... any help would be great!
A. The fastest and most stable way to connect a computer to a cable modem is through an Ethernet Adapter. (AKA: Network Interface Card or NIC)
If you removed one from your computer, I would suggest replacing it if you still have it. If not, they are not very expensive. You should be able to get one on eBay or Craigs List for about $5.00
The alternative would be using a USB cable but that would require the specific driver for the cable modem you have.
If you want to use the wireless adapter and your Cable Modem doesn't have wireless built-in, You could get a Wireless Router. Their not very difficult to get working but you should find out what the wireless card is in your computer and match the technology of it. For example if it is an 802.11G wireless adapter, get a "G" Router.
