Can you use it for dual cable modem connections if you have two in your home. Yes, two separate Cable Modem Accounts separate bills separate IP etc. Can you connect another pc to it? Connect a printer that has an ethernet port? I just really dont have a clue what you CAN use it for or would want to use it for. Been wondering that for a while actually but now that I got one I figured I should ask.

Yes you can connect to 2 networks with the 2 ethernet ports. Each will obtain it's own IP address from the ISP (or router if you have them)

unless you got some teaming software, however, that would be interesting using the internet...

You could always use your computer to share internet access with the dual ports.
Though there are so many Free AR/AC routers nowadays that it's not worth the hassle.
