Which Router?

At this time, all I have is this modem and the computer is connected to it by an Ethernet cable.

I just tried disconnecting the Ethernet cable and connecting the computer to the modem with a USB cable.

The computer could not make a connection to the internet.

I then installed the the software that came with the modem and still could not get a connection to the internet.

I switched everything back to the Ethernet cable so I could get back online.

I'm not sure why the USB won't work, but it sure sounded like a good idea if it did. If I can get it to work, then all I will need to buy is a 25 foot Ethernet cable for the TV and I'll be in business.

Any ideas?

Thanks again
Ken
