I have a Ubee modem that is connected inside to a firewall router fom where there is a switch for ethernet connections. There are 4 ethernet ports on teh modem, one of which pweres the router. If I were to plug a WiFi to one of these ports would that enable direct connection to the web with bypass of the router?
