A friend of mine has DSL service. The modem that came with the service
for some reason does'nt work when connected to a home router.
So its currently connected via ethernet to a desktop PC.
Is there a device that I can plug into a USB port on the PC that
would tap into the internet connection (through the PC) and broadcast
a WIFI signal so laptops can connect to the internet?
Thanks

Whenever I switch LAN interfaces with my cable modem (computer, router), I
have to unplug-replug the modem. Did you do it that way, or just plug the
cat cable into the router?
