I was recently upgraded to SWM and whole home service. My HR24 DVR had been using a wireless internet connection but I have an H24 near my computer and the installer said it would be better to disconnect the wireless and have a hard wire connection from the router to the H24 to serve the whole home service. I thought the ethernet cable would go straight to the H24 receiver but I later noticed that the ethernet connection is to a "Connected Home Adapter DCAU1R0-01". The adapter has a USB connection to the receiver and has a coax connection to a splitter that has input from the SWM and another output to the receiver. Why can't the ethernet go directly to the receiver and what is the USB connection for? (For power maybe?)
