Connecting the Router
Before using your router, you need to do the following:
• Connect your local Ethernet network to the LAN port(s) of the router (described next).
• Connect your cable or DSL modem to the WAN port of the router (see page 2-5).
• Connect the power adapter (see page 2-5).
Connecting to your Local Ethernet Network
Your local network will attach to the router port or ports marked LAN. The LAN ports are capable
of operation at either 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) or 100 Mbps (100BASE-Tx), depending on the
Ethernet interface of the attached PC, hub, or switch. For any connection which will operate at 100
Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) rated cable, such as the white Ethernet cable included
with the router.
