Its a separate box and monitor. I dont care one way or the other as long as i can still connect the cord from the modem to the computer and not have wifi. The all in one sounds easy to install since i assume i just leave the cable coming from the ground hooked into the modem and then unplug the ethernet cable from my comp now and put it in the other computer and i dont have to connect the mouse, keyboard or speakers because they are already in the comp.
