Possible to connect CM700 cable modem on a Mac without an ethernet cable?
Is it possible to set up the CM700 modem without an ethernet cable? Neither of my Mac computers have an ethernet cord. Help!
What about connecting it do a router with an ethernet port? Could the modem be addressed through the router?

You could run the experiment. I haven't, so I can't guarantee
failure, but I wouldn't bet on it working. It all depends on the
details of what the modem expects from the connected device, and the
environment it provides. About all of which I know nothing.
Thanks for the help. I solved the problem. It turns out that my desktop Mac has an ethernet port and I hauled it down to the living room floor and now I am up and running.
Appreciate the suggestions.
