I was wondering if it would be a noticeable decrease in latency connecting my PC to the modem with a Ethernet cable, over connecting my router to the modem, then connecting my PC to a Ethernet port on the router. I am going to be mostly gaming and want to have the least amount of latency possible. I don't want to buy a modem that will only have 1 Ethernet port if there is a noticeable difference. I would rather have a modem with 2 or more Ethernet ports so that I can wire my PC directly to the modem, and have a separate Ethernet cable connection going to the router to provide wireless connection to my home. I am going to have 75 Mbps internet connection speed installed and don't want to pay an extra $10 a month for Comcast to lone me a modem. If anyone can recommend a good modem under $100 with at least 2 Ethernet ports that would be great.
