Using Ethernet with a Modem?

shell shocke · Feb 16, 2014

Hello! As you can probably see, not the biggest on networking. I have a DCP3825 Modem, I'm using it for wireless, but I'm wondering if I can use it for wired as well? It has 4 Ethernet ports, could I just use the modem itself? http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-DPC3825-Wireless-Residential-Gateway/dp/B008C4HDQA That's the Modem, I didn't exactly buy it, was installed by my ISP. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can, just plug the network cable in any of the available Ethernet ports then the other end into your computer

Yup, the ethernet ports are LAN, so plugging it directly into a PC should be just like WiFi, except possibly faster.

Will it help with PING? That's the main reason I want to use Wired connection, and thanks for the help!

Difference I'm currently seeing is 0.6ms for ethernet vs 1.2ms over WiFi (to the router). That's pretty minor.
