Are there any problems I may encounter in doing this or is it just a question of swapping the cables? I am using WinXP Home btw. Please be gentle with me - I don't speak advanced geek
to the site! I hope you enjoy your stay

This shouldn't be any problem at all, 90% of routers are configured to work straight out of the box.

The only thing you need to make sure, is that when you change the connection from USB on your pc to the ethernet for your router, make sure that you turn the modem off for a full 30seconds, otherwise you may get problems.

If you can't get it working... just post on here and there are lots of us that can help!!
