Tech Support do not fully support networking, wired or wireless.
so if you are having problems in the future you would need to move the pc to the modem & connect direcly via ethernet / usb to fully troubleshoot the connection, if an engineer was needed for example.

personally I would never use usb for wired or wireless connection as it is far too system resource hungry, drivers can be a nightmare and with the cost of hardware wireless adaptors either Pci or PCMCIA being quite low now (unless you frequent PCworld & other overpriced retailers), makes USB a false economy.

As a fresh install of the BB service, the engineer has to install the modem by your PC, if it was a swap from STB BB to a Modem, well that's a grey area.
