ethernet controller like the one with q mark is sligtley bigger than the modem point and u connect up to a local area network ie a small network/house nework.
@Soberfree: LAN means Local Area Network, which you would have if your have 2 or more computers connected in your house. WAN means Wide Area Network which, for example, you have a computer at home networked with a computer at work. Your work place is the one that supports the WAN.
