The cable linking the router to the computer uses an Ethernet link.
Sorry, I don't understand. Are you asking if drivers were already installed before starting to install Windows 10?
Most contemporary computers include a network adapter (usually near the top right above two USB ports). Windows 10 should already have it installed. The cable from your modem to your wireless router fits into that port, which is typically an RJ45 connector—often Cat5 or Cat5e. If your setup uses DHCP for automatic IP assignment, it will connect to the Internet via the modem. However, some ISPs may need PPPoE authentication, so you should confirm with your provider (usually not necessary). Remember, this method isn’t the best. Your router already has a firewall to block external threats. Windows 10 also has a firewall, though it’s not flawless. The router’s firewall adds an extra shield against outside attacks. Many routers also feature several Ethernet ports for direct connections, like a desktop PC. You can buy Cat5/Cat5e Ethernet cables from any electronics store for around $0.50 per foot.
You have an extra Ethernet cable at home, connecting the router to your PC. It should work fine if you follow proper setup.
