[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1804052, member: 46727"] I suspect your ethernet connection via the modem is not setup for DHCP which is why you're receiving a self assigned IP address. The WiFi is working so DHCP there is okay. Ask your son if he knows how to access the modem's internal menu to check the ethernet setup. Other than that, using WiFi instead of ethernet is not going to slow you down to where you will even notice it. And it eliminates another cable that you can trip over or accidentally disconnect. :) [/QUOTE]
