I recently had clearwire as a service provider and had a router connected to the EtherNet port. Having had problems with ClearWire, I switched to Quest. Well when the guy hooked up quest, he took out the router and connected the quest hook ups to the EtherNet port. I have no Idea where to put the router cable now, as there is only one Ethernet port. Does anyone know what to do? Or do I need to buy a spliter?

Take out that connector on the PC ethernet port then connect to the WAN port of the router. Using another LAN cable, connect one end to PC ethernet port and the other end to any of the LAN ports of the router. You should be back in business in no time at all.

the router is in the middle of the setup
modem <=====> router <======> computer
you only need one ethernet card. from one i read the technician just removed the router and connected the modem directly to your pc. just connect the modem to the router, and the router to the pc
