Excerpt from Stroller:

Are you talking about an adapter that plugs into a USB port at one end and has an Ethernet port at the other end?

Or are you talking about a cable or DSL router with a USB connection?

I have a cable modem and router, the router can connect by either Ethernet or USB; I always used the Ethernet and never used the USB.

But I had a DSL modem/router before the switch to cable, had both USB and Ethernet connectors.  I failed to get the USB network connection to work, though the Ethernet worked OK.
