Converting USB modem connection to Ethernet
My ISP forces me to use a DSL modem with only a USB connection to PC,
so I have to leave my PC running all the time. Is there a way I can convert the USB interface to RJ45? I want to connect the modem directly to the WAN port of my wireless router, so I can have wireless access and connect other networked devices into it, without having my PC running. Thanks for any help! Yahya Farooq |

Nope... Tell your ISP to get stuffed. There's no reason that they can't use
modems that have both Ethernet and USB. Who is your ISP? wrote in message ups.com...

oneup): http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=107335 That won't work at all! My appologies, I thought it was the type that connected to USB male A plug, but it's only one that connects to vacant usb port. Should look more closely in future. There are adapters like I mentioned, just don't seem too common. Regards, Chris |

Nope... Tell your ISP to get stuffed. There's no reason that they
can't use modems that have both Ethernet and USB. Unfortunately it's the only ISP of the country. govt controlled. I talked to customer "support" and... let's just say I wasn't kidding when I said they forced me to use their modem. Btw, if I do get another modem, can they find out? I know cable modems throttle bandwidth, do DSL modems do the same? and should it make a difference if I get a third party modem? http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=107335 That won't work at all! Why won't it work? Is it because of the physically unmatched USB connectors? I can get an adaptor for that. Or does it need logic processing for the conversion? Thanks Yahya Farooq |
