Rep Power: 5 | Ethernet will be typically 100 mbps (sometimes 1 gbps), Wifi is 54 mbps, while broadband (cable or adsl) is at most 2 mbps (sometimes 8 mbps) in India. So for internet it will make no difference - lan or wi-fi. (For a local lan ethernet will be faster.)

| Platinum Member  | as long as wifi is enabled in modem it will keep broadcasting signal even if you are connecting modem to laptop using cable.you will need a RJ45 crossover cable to connect modem to PC/laptop.usually wifi is preferred for laptop as you can freely move around & stay connected in the house.

Rep Power: 5 | Every wi-fi modem/router has the option to enable or disable wi-fi. It will be in 'Wireless Basic Settings'. Just disable wi-fi if you do not wish to use it. There are two types of cables: RJ11 - This is a telephone cable that connects modem to telephone point. It has two connections on the connector. RJ45 - This is the Ethernet LAN cable and is thick. Also known as crossover cable. Its connector has many connections (can't recollect how many). The connector is also big. |

Rep Power: 5 | The cable is not costly - Rs. 50 at most for a 1.5 meter cable. One comes free with the modem/router (if there is provision for RJ45 connection). |
