Can a single cable modem be installed at a junction in a home where the cables split off into separate rooms without the use of a router? -- Regards, Piedmont https://sites.google.com/site/thepracticalbbqr/home | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options  The primary function of a router is to be able to use more than one computer, so it has nothing to do with your question. -- Bill | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I think the cable modem would need to be rebooted each time a different computer is used because the computers would have a different mac addr; unless one swaps the network card "as needed". A router will be much better as one would not need to reboot the modem for the different computers used so that the "new" mac addr of the nic is recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options True, then the OP didn't state that (s)he has a computer. For anyone knows, the use of the cable modem could be used for some blu-ray players that access the network for video streaming & firmware updates. Also, the cable modem could be for the roomates' computer as the OP may not have a computer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
