Which is better?

Post by EzPlayboy »

Would you use the USB cable connection or use the RJ45 connection which one is the faster?And this is for Roadrunner cable with Toshiba PCX1100U modem. Also are there any tweaks for this modem with Windows Me?

:cool: Definitely go with the RJ45, USB has a bad tendency to lose the connection. It's not very reliable at all...

Unhooked the USB and reconnected with the RJ45 and my internet speed pageloads skyrocketed so did downloads and uploads.
Thanks
