I am trying to set up a new TP-LInk 1750 router. I am having nothing but trouble. I am not asking for help just yet because my step-son is supposed to help me Monday.

My questions is this: In trying to set this router up, I am being told to connect my modem to my computer during the process. Of course, my Mac does not have an ethernet port which my modem would have to connect to. I do have an ethernet adapter (which I used), but is this step necessary in setting up a router since not all computers have ethernet ports anymore?
