Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an option...
As our "router" serves as both.
In order to get any kind of direct connection without the router, I believe I'd have to run Charter's (our internet provider) cable underneath our house, to my computer. Which would not only be incredibly difficult since they're on opposite ends of the house, but may also be highly unlikely, as the cable is very short.
I'm not very tech-savy when it comes to this, so correct me if I'm wrong :]
