I have a Spectrum modem with only one ethernet output. I don't like wifi. I previously used Kinetic, and bought my own Netgear Router. It has 4 ethernet outputs. I have temporarily started using wifi, with Spectrums router. But it's $10 per month. I have to connect my computer and my tv, so I have to have 2 ethernet capability. What kind of issues am I going to have if I connect the Spectrum modem to the Netgear router? Would there be a lot complicate setup? Again, I don't want to use the wifi. I just need to run 2 ethernets. The Netgear connected to an optical network terminal when I used Kinetic. But I'm sure it's probably a modem-router combo. Is there any chance I can just connect the Netgear router to Spectrum's modem and find that it works without a lot of issues?

You shouldn't have a problem. You connect the modem output to the router. Then connect the TV and computer and it will be fine.

I just hooked it up. Only had to reinstall the router (routerlogin.net). All is working fine. Thanks for reassuring me that I wasn't going to screw things up. Spectrum's $10 per month router will go back to them tomorrow.
