Is this an option? I read somewhere that you can get an ethernet version of the ripwave box but it was an old post.

The ethernet one is fine. You need it if you want to use WiFi/Router. (ethernet WAN type, what Argos call a cable router).

I just called sales, turns out they are all Ethernet! I was under the impression they were all USB.

Cheers guys.

They used to do both. I've tested and installed both.
There was a short period of time when a PC was more likely to have USB than ethernet.

The USB version needs a driver. The ethernet version is plug in and go.
