hi Networking experts,
I had purchased a TP link (TD-W8961ND 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router) device for Internet broadband through my local telecom operator. I was not happy with the service so I switched to my local cable modem operator. They have provided me a CISCO DPQ2160 cable modem. Unfortunately it has only one ethernet port with no wifi. The ethernet cable from the CISCO DPQ2160 is jacked into my Laptop directly for connecting to the internet. My question is whether it is possible to connect the RJ45 comming out of CISCO into the one of the ports of the TP-Link device ( it has four LAN ports) and use the wifi of the TP-Link for wifi access. Do let me what should be done in order to get it working, if possible.
If you require additional information do let me know.
