Hi, I geuss your using a Speedstream model of modem. They, depending on the model have a usb and an ethernet port. You can connect it to a router one of two ways. 1) You can use the blue usb wire and connect from modem(usb port) directly to pc usb port. You will have to install drivers for modem. You then connect the ethernet cable(usually yellow) from the modem to internet port of the router. Patch to the other devices. 2) You can forget the usb and use only ethernet. You will connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the internet port of the router. You will then patch the other devices(pcs, Xbox...) to the ports of the router. Hope this helps........
there is no ethernet port at all just the connection to the USB and a phone jack type of adapter that connects to the phone line...
this is the model of the modem, still having issues on connecting this to a router 71704 cpu20 3ec Alcatel SpeedTouch “StingRay” USB ADSL High Speed Modem
Hi, contact bell at 310-SURF. Tell them you want to install your own router. Ask them to replace the USB modem with an Efficient Networks Speedstream model. You should have no problem with them......
