Having the cable modem on the floor makes it more likely for someone to trip over it, and possibly the cables atached to it as well. They may also inadvertently kick the power button, causing a lack of internet access that can be difficult to diagnose.

Do you need a modem or can you just use a router for the computer?

A router is used for connecting multiple computers to a single connection, but it doesn't provide the actual connection. You still need a cable modem or a DSL modem to connect to the router to provide the connection to the internet. Usually on the back of the router there is one port marked internet or uplink that you'll need to connect to the modem you get.

Your router/modem may be causing the disconnection. Go in to your router/modem settings to ensure that it is set to keep the connection active ("Keep Alive" mode), and is NOT set to "Connect on Demand". Check with your ISP or router/modem manufacturer if you do not know how to set the router/modem to "Keep Alive" mode.


Does wifi router and cable modem work simultanously?

Yes. In general, the cable model is required to provide a connection between your location and the cable ISP's central office, whereas the WiFi router is required to share that connection with multiple computers at your location. ISP <--> Cable Modem <--> WiFi Router <--> Many Computers Keep in mind that many cable ISPs now offer all-in-one cable modems + WiFi routers that roll up these two devices into one. In this case, having a redundant router will work, but the configuration may be confusing and is most certainly redundant.

How do you perform wired connection on PS3?

Purchase an ethernet cable (I prefer a cat 6 but cat 5 will work). Next you need an internet connection and it has a monthly fee.. If you have a computer hooked up to the internet you have an internet connection. Plug the ethernet cable into the back of the PS3 and run the ethernet cable to your cable modem. Unplug your computer and plug in the PS3. If you want to keep both always wired then you need to purchase a router. Then you plug the modem into the router's in spot and both the PS3 and Computer into the router. If you only have dial up for your computer I have no Ideal if a connector is possible.
