I'm afraid to say that this modem uses USB1, and I am certain that it does
not have it's own RJ45 port. It was originally bought with USB so that we
didn't have to worry about network drivers etc., but we have moved on now. I
would still be grateful for any answers you can give me - would a USB
adapter be able to supply power?
(I live in the UK, btw).
Thankyou Eileen!

not have it's own RJ45 port. It was originally bought with USB so that we
didn't have to worry about network drivers etc., but we have moved on now. I
would still be grateful for any answers you can give me - would a USB
adapter be able to supply power?
