| 468259 | 2006-07-03 23:44:00 | Have just got the d-link 302g modem and was wondering what is the best way to connect to pc ..USB or Ethernet?..with in mind that i want to also plug in my xbox 360 | falcon (3689) | ||
| 468260 | 2006-07-04 01:50:00 | Most people recommend connecting via ethernet if you can, but you will need an ethernet card for your comp if you haven't already got one. I had my Dynalink router running through USB for ages and no problems at all, so if USB is the easy option for you right now I'd say give that a go first. If the XBox uses ethernet then you'd obviously want to fork out for an ethernet card, they aren't expensive (around $20-$30) and you just have to install it in a spare PCI slot. |

| 468263 | 2006-07-04 03:18:00 | An ethernet card costs $15 from Dick Smith's and a switch costs about $50. This should be more reliable and faster than using USB, which is not designed for general networking. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
| 468264 | 2006-07-04 04:48:00 | If you're going to buy a NIC or Switch, I suggest www.madkiwi.com - cheaper than DSE: 8-Port Switch for $24.50 or even a 5-Port for $19.50, and a 100mb PCI NIC for $8. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
