I have a Westell Model 2200 and am a Verizon user and since my ethernet port broke I'm connecting through the internet thorugh a USB.
I was just wonder a lot of people connect throgh a wireless router, and I was thinking of getting one, I already have the PCI card soo does that mean I have to get a new Interent Provier?

Or does it just connect after I set up the router on my comp?
Sorry I'm an amatuer Sad

No, you do not have to get a new provider. Is the port on your modem or your network card broken?

You can buy a PC Card (aka: PCMCIA) ethernet card, and you should be all set Smile

it doesnt matter what ISP you have, the router should detect the internet connection automatically

It looks like the wired ones aren't too expensive. Mabey around $30.00

I'm sooo confused, I thought a Mini PCI Card was the same thing. So that means I have to buy a wirless router right, that will detect the fact that i'm using Verizon as my IP?
