yes - a wireless modem (most all modems have wireless today) will work with your wired ethernet connection - you can choose to turn on or off the wireless radio in the setup screens - if you do turn on the wireless radio, you should probably password protect the wireless so others won't use your connection

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

e.coli is everywhere - there are trillions of strains

like carbon dioxide, we need e.coli to live - buttloads of e.coli in our intestines

there are very few strains that will kill a human - as compared to the trillions of strains out there

some might give you the - um - how to say - some might give you a loose bowel for a day or so - remarkably - the human body gets it out fast (which is why the sh...which is why you have the loose bowels)

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.
