There are many different wireless routers. I've never seen one without at least one wired port - for configuration purposes if nothing else. You may need to connect to it via ethernet to reconfigure it. Get the MAKE and MODEL number of the router they are trying to sell you and then google for info on that particular router. jc

There are a number of gateway devices which have wireless and one ethernet port - so if you need multiple ethernets, you need a switch. -- Mike Easter

Cellular means verizon's cellphone service, not residential broadband internet connectivity. > Yes. Verizon is making me buy a "modem", Verizon has all kinds of plans. Any modem you use has to be compatible with the DSL connectivity provider. I expect having a Verizon DSL doesn't require that you buy their modem, but that you have a compatible one. The other variable in the installation process is how installation will be accomplished, as a do-it-yourself or as a tech install. A typical package for the neophyte would be to have a tech install and the tech brings the modem and you get all the bills. A typical install for someone else would be they have their own modem and they do their own install and they save some money. > either a wired one for about $35 > (IIRC) or a modem with a wireless router for about $15 more ... so I went > with the modem with wireless router. > > I didn't think to ask if it was mandatory that I get the modem from them. > > Can someone concur whether it's mandatory that I buy the modem (in this > case, a modem plus wireless router) from them? I doubt if it is mandatory, but you might have less options if you are having the tech install. -- Mike Easter |
