That is, you can connect through them via USB *or* via ethernet, but not both at the same time. The USB port is really there for what is a typical home configuration, where only one machine needs access through the router. Very often, one or the other port will automatically take precedence, so that the ordinary user doesn't have to configure anything. To support more than one machine on such a router, you need an ethernet switch. You connect one port on the switch to the ethernet port on the router, then plug your other devices into the other ports on the switch. Means all connected devices must support ethernet.

And the 2Wire has supported 3 computers without conflict right up to this install and if I fire the mian computer up in windows it still supports all three units plus any unit I have in for repair. Thanks for the attempt and with the input these are producing, perhaps someone smarter than me will have the answer. Thanks again. </body> </html>
