  Do you use Ethernet cable or USB cables? I'm thinking of switching ethernet cables to USB cables for my Modem.
  
  What are the pro and cons for using the USB connection?

  No wonder when I point the mouse cursor to the 2 small monitor icos, it shows 12.0 Mbps whereas if I'm using ethernet cables, it will shows 100 Mbps. Now I am using back the ethernet cables instead of USB
