Using the USB port (BRG35302) enables you to install the cable modem more quickly and
easily than connecting to the Internet using the USB port, be cause you do not have to install a
network interface card (NIC) into your computer. The USB port, however, only enables you to
connect one computer to the cable modem.
Using the Wireless (BWA35302) enables you connecting to the Internet. For the security
consideration, it is recommended to change the configuration of factory default Wireless
setting..
