chesters1 1498 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I always connect via LAN connection as I have so many usb devices that I need the one that the router would use. Plus I think that the LAN connection is miles better for networking i dont have a network ,would it be an advantage to install a network card purely for the router ,would there be a major speed change compared to usb (not sure what usb the router uses but the mobo is usb2 copatable) Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle Mathew 4:19 Grangers law : anything i say will turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said!
