Cisco 3620 router

[Guest_imported]

I was recently given an old cisco 3620 router, It is installed with two WIC-1T modules, I was wondering if anybody new a way to use this with a cable modem.

Sure.. sell it and get a 2514, 1605, 2611 or 2621. All of these are dual ethernet that you can use with the cable modem/DSL/ADSL etc. If you do this right, you will end up a few hundred dollars ahead since a 2514 average price is about 400 right now.

It wouldnt be possible to get a second ethernet module for the 3620, I cant sell it cause its on long term loan. and i have to be able to return it when it is needed again.

Ah.. I misunderstood the word *given*

It is possible to get a 2nd ethernet WIC card for it but they are not cheap.. even on ebay. But with careful shopping around, who knows what you might find.

Thanks for the help. I will look around for that, i might just end up getting another router though.

I think you would probably be better off getting something else. Like Wybenormal said, Ethernet modules are not cheap and you can get a cheap broadband router for under $100.
