Need help & advice for setting up Hard Wired & what to do for Wireless
Hi, I am taking a job with a company that is work from home. One of their requirements is that I have my computer Hard Wired to the Internet not working off my Wireless connection. My question is multi level. I only have one desktop computer and so this is where I have my Wireless router plugged in so that I can use wireless through the house. It says this, Agents are required to have a “wired” internet connection. If you have wireless router, please disable the “wireless” feature and hard wire your
equipment to the router.
That being said, I use my wireless for everything. I have a wireless printer and I also have Roku boxes and my cell phone, a Nexus pad and my net-book.
Can I hard wire the computer but still have the wireless network for using my printer etc? If so how do I set up?
The other question is I have to have a modem with at least two ethernets available for the phone that they supply. Or it says I can use a router. My internet provider is Cox so I also have to use one that is compatible with them....
I'm really confused. It doesn't seem possible to do everything. I also haven't even started working for them yet but I'm not in a position to put out a lot of money for these things right now... Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I maybe need to add that I have a Cisco E2000 Router...
