Wireless Modem and Wireless Router issues

Hey guys,

So I signed up for wireless internet, as where I'm living doesn't particularly have cable.

I have a Wireless Modem, a Huawei e160x, and my wireless netgear wireless router, MBR624GU.

I went to the wireless modem support list on the netgear site, and it appears that the router supports the E160, but my modem is a E160X. Seeings that it's a E160 series, would i be able to downgrade the drivers to run the E160? Do I have to? When I hook up the modem to the router, the router says USB device not supported, when it should, i think, because it's part of the E160.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Pete

don't use USB....hook it up via Cat5 cable

Modem (cat 5) router (cat 5) computer

just like that!

The modem is a USB modem.

Much like this one... How would I connect this via cat5? Are there adapters?

[Edit]The router has a USB port in it[/edit]

Found the adapter... I'm going to have to go buy this one another day.
