In addition to a router, you need a straight-through
cable for each computer you want to connect to the
network.
To set up a network using a router:
1 Plug one end of the power adapter into the AC
connector on the router and the other end into
a grounded, 110V electrical outlet.
2 Turn on your computers.
3 Plug one end of a straight-through network
cable into any numbered port on the router
(except the WAN port). The WAN port is used to
connect the router to the DSL or cable modem
and is identified by a label or a switch. Plug the
other end of the cable into the network jack on
the computer. As each computer is connected to
the router, the corresponding green indicator
should light on the front of the router, indicating
a good connection.
4 Repeat
for each computer on the network.
5 For an Internet connection, plug a
straight-through cable into the WAN port on the
router and the other end into the Ethernet jack
on the DSL or cable modem.
