Connect the Router using LAN
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the Wireless Internet
Broadband Router.
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or
Cable modem.
3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer
system; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet
Broadband Router. Since the Wireless Broadband Router has four ports, you can
connect up to four computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a
switch to connect these computers since one Internet Broadband Router
functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
