I was using a wireless broadband connection for the first semester of college. But now that I have the modem in my room I'd rather have it wired to my computer for the speed. I tried plugging in the modem directly to my comp without using the router but I did not get any connection. I then tried disabling the wireless card through device manager but that still didn't work. I'm wondering if taking the card out of the computer would solve the problem. Anyone know what would solve this?
