The ethernet port on my Motorola SB5120 modem (3 yrs old) has never seemed to work. I've always used the USB port on the modem as a workaround. But now I've purchased a WRT54G2 and can't figure out how to use the modem and router without an ethernet connection on my modem. Any advice? Hopefully something cheaper than buying a new modem.
Thanks for the response but I think the ethernet port on my modem is broken and that is my whole dilemma. I can't seem to get it to work on my laptop or PC. Just the USB connection to the modem. I don't think I want to risk spending $37 on the converter to find out. I appreciate the suggestion.
