well i got my wireless to work. I have optimum online. In the past the moden only worked with the USB to my comp, not the ethernet. but after setting it up again for like the 5th time, it now works with the ethernet card. first the cable line goes to the cable moden then to a netgrear wireless router(w/ 4 ports) One ethernet cable runs to my desktop. i had another ethernet cable plugged into my laptop(before wirelss worked) and now with the wireless router working, i have 3 empty ports on the router. I will be running a cable to my basement where i'll set up my old desktop and hook that up to the router as well. that way ill have internet on all 3 comps, with just one cable modem.

and btw... i was an idiot for why my wireless wasn't working lol... last night while showing my friend my new laptop, i saw a switch on the front of the case... and on-off for the wireless haha and of course it was off. Once turned on and i went through all the setting again, it works perfectly...
