most wireless routers have 4 ethernet ports on them (the squarish ports) in addition an internal radio for wireless - some routers have more than 4 ethernet ports
the cable modems i have seen are coax connected - but i have not worked with many of them (coax is the round connector like tv uses)
most any will support the speed - but i’d check that diocss (or whatever) support for whatever you buy
this place has ok prices - amazon will probably be a few bucks cheaper - but on this site, you can read lots of reviews on products - might be worth the time
like carbon dioxide, we need e.coli to live - buttloads of e.coli in our intestines

Thanks, sloop. I’ll spend some time at NewEgg w/ reviews. I used to buy from them years ago.
I now have Comcast coax coming into the cable modem, and an ethernet cable direct into the computer, bypassing the old router. It would normally go into ethernet port in router, then another ethernet cable from port 1 to the computer.
This old Linksys 4000 unit was plug-n-play; no set-up req’d or software with it. Maybe that was the problem, but was originally decently-fast (30mbps+), but security was main concern for retail CC gateway processing.
Outdoor hardware was replaced yesterday, since it’d weather-degraded since last service in ‘07. 100mbps signal coming in from pedestal on trunk, but I’m now on “Blast!” residential plan at Farm, with limits to 60mbps (getting 53mbps+). I had commercial 125mbps plan at work, before I pulled the corp plug last Nov. Miss that blazing speed, but was costly.
