Hi guys! so I'm going to be upgrading my internet to Cox's Ultimate package, which is 150/20. My current router is a Netgear WNDR3400 which only has 10/100 ports, but also has a usb2/3 port, and my moden does as well, so I'm wondering if it would be possible to connect the two over USB in order to get my full bandwidth across my entire network, If I can't, I can just use that USB connection to my main PC for now until I can get a Gigabit router, but if I can avoid that, I'd like to do so.

Thanks for the help!

No, the USB ports on the router can only be used for storage, not internet access.

That's what I figured, thanks for the help
