The BellSouth Version of the Wirespeed has been reconfigured (chipset removed)..the PPP client is built into the modem, changing it to a stand alone MODEM. This modem -in this configuration- is NOT a router..just a modem..BUT..it has the capability to connect to the PC by USB "OR" Eithernet..but not both at the same time..(it's a either/or connection).
