    Been a quite awhile since I installed my router and I'm sending my daughter my old wired router and wanted to send the correct cables.

    Is this correct?
    The cable from the modem to WAN is a Straight-through cable.
    A Straight-through cable is also used from LAN ports to the PC.

    Thanks

    The cable from modem to router wan = Xover cable, router lan ports to comps = straight thru cable.

    Thanks Tony.
    Now I'm a little confused.
    I came across this a couple different places on Google:
    If your Modem came with Straight Cable:
    Modem to NIC - Straight Cable
    Modem to Hub - Crossover Cable.
    Modem to Uplink - Straight Cable (Router’s WAN).

    If your Modem Came with crossover Cable:
    Modem to NIC - Crossover Cable.
    Modem to Hub - Straight Cable
    Modem to Uplink - Crossover Cable (Router’s WAN).

    I'm sending my router to my daughter, so how will she know what she needs?
