• Straight-through Ethernet cables (RJ-45-to-RJ-45) to connect the router to a broadband (xDSL or cable) modem and to a
hub or switch
• Straight-through or crossover cables to connect WICs to the appropriate WAN services (the integrated switch ports operate
in auto-detect mode)
• Ethernet hub or switch to connect the router to the local network, or an xDSL or cable modem to connect the router to the
service provider
• Server or other computer with a network interface card (NIC) or other networked device (such as a hub or a switch) to
