the last question is a really good one. the router and modem are located at a midway point in the house, chosen by the phone company when they installed the ADSL in 2018. Unfortunately, that location is not amenable to hooking up anything via ethernet and working on it. I can hook up a laptop to it, but I am left there holding the laptop in one hand and trying to operate it with the other. not an easy situation as you might imagine. the router, modem, phonebox (device attached to the modem to provide digital phone service) and the UPS, and most recently the USB drive sit on some shelves in a cubby like area in the hall of our home. I do have a very long ethernet cable i can string out to the living room, so i can hook up to the modem, but i don't know how 75 - 100 foot length of cable would perform. not sure how or where we got a cable that long. I can try that if you want me to.
