I have 2 computers and 1 modem how can i get internet on both?

Well i have comcast cable internet and i have the TM402 ARRIS modem it says you can hook up 2 computers to it and have internet on both, one with the usb and one with the ethernet. i have tried and tried but the computer i hook up with the usb does not get internet. the drivers are properly installed so no problem there any ideas??

The only reason you have the USB and ethernet cable is to give you a choice on how to hook up your first computer if you were in a single computer setup. You don't use both.



Do it this way. Get a router (about $50) and two more ethernet cables. Run an ethernet cable from the cable modem to the router's 'Internet or WAN port'. Then run ethernet cables from the router's LAN ports to each PC.

No my friend, what you need is a router. Try Netgear.



You have to connect the modem to the router in order to have wireless internet. For a laptop or a USB port on your PC. That's what I use :)

Use the ethernet cable from one computer to another
The best solution is to actually get a router/firewall - preferably a wired one - wireless is still too insecure. ~$40 either linksys or D-link brand are ones I have used have had great luck with. you plug your cable modem into the WAN port, and then your 2 computers in one of the LAN ports. this also gives an extra layer of protection against hackers.
let one use the ethernet cable, let that one use wireless.



use the other conputer to connect with the first computer to connect wirelessly. srsly. idk how. but if it is a mac, i know.
