Have a cable modem connected to the PC via a USB connection and all works fine, want to share the broadband via a router to another PC. This means an ethernet cable from modem to router and then to PCs. Does this mean I will have to go through the process of re-installing my broadband connection again ? (I remember the installation instructions said use one type of cable or the other), I'm assuming the configurations may be different, or, could I just remove the USB cable now, insert an ethernet (no router) and my broadband connection would continue as before.
