However, the plugs on the ends of Ethernet cords are just slightly wider. These cords fit into an RJ45 port. You&#8217;ll find these ports on modems, routers, some printers, and some computers.  When you use an Ethernet cord between your device and a modem\/router, you connect to the Internet via a cable (cord).

However, at this point, almost all printers still have a USB port that can be used to connect directly to a computer.  (As mentioned above, some printers also have an Ethernet port.)  Unfortunately, wireless printers tend to come off their wireless networks from time to time.  When that happens, it&#8217;s good to have a USB printer cord like the one shown above.
