If they do not have wireless, then what? Broadband, by definition is not dial-up. Also, just because they have cable internet does not mean they have wireless. When I received my cable modem, it could either connect to a router or directly to my computer with ethernet. I did also note that my cable modem has a usb cable with it. Does anyone know if I can connect directly to the cable modem using the usb?
