Note: The DG834G wireless router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each Ethernet
LAN port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port should have a
'normal' connection (for example, connecting to a computer) or an 'uplink' connection (for
example, connecting to a switch or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct
configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto
Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
d. Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it in to a power outlet. Verify the
following:
