Do you need a mac modem for an imac or can you just use a simple ethernet cable that you could use for a pc?

Question

I am getting an imac soon and i was wondering if you needed the specific mac modem that you can buy or can you just use an ethernet cable that is used for a pc and hook it up to a modem. NO LINKS/TUTORIALS PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer 1

iMacs have Ethernet ports that you can connect to a modem. However, whether or not it will work depends on exactly what your modem does and what your modem expects your computer to do.

If you have a modem with a built-in router or a separate router, it will definitely work. If not, it will most likely work.

Answer 2

a simple ethernet cable gonna work .
