3.4 USB-based modems/routers |
Going to go look and read right now, I have the older style I think. I have the modem, one plug is power then I have the coax cable in. The I have what I think is a cat 5 cable going out to the router with then 3 or 4 cat 5 cables to the backs of the wifes and kids computers. No usb anywhere so maybe that might be time to upgrade then.
