Hi! I wanted to ask if there is a way to send most of the connection from my modem directly to my computer, and then send any excess to a wifi router? The only part of my network I need to ever be fast is my home computer, as when I am using it to download files, I basically want to know for sure the whole connection is allocated to the computer. At times when the computer is off or otherwise not downloading, it would be nice to make use of my router, but I want to be certain that my desktops connection is untouched, and it seems like they don’t make devices for this purpose… (ie: high quality ethernet, low quality wifi)
Any advice would be absolutely lovely, as I am at somewhat of a loss, this seems to be a feature so called “gaming” routers provide, but I’m not sure if ping reduction is really the same thing as what I am imagining.
Thank you
You can do it, but it is not recommended! I would do it shortly, just to test speeds or something like that, but wouldn’t keep it permanently like that!
The router “protects” you from the outside world, as you are not exposed from a security standpoint
I see… in that case is there like, a regular price router that has 2.5 in and 2.5 out? I dont really care about the wifi quality, I don’t use it except for my phone which can run cellular unlimited…
Does your modem have 2.5 out or higher? If not, it won’t matter what your router has!
If so, you could do something like this:
