Attached to the router are all of your computers or
Ethernet-ready devices. Also connected to the router
is a cable or DSL modem that provides access to the

Equipment you need for a router-based
Ethernet network
For a wired Ethernet network you need:
•
Two or more computers with Ethernet jacks
•
One router
•
One broadband Internet connection (optional)
•
Ethernet cables connecting all of the network
equipment
Important
For best results, all Ethernet components should be either
standard Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10/100),
or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000). A mixture of
components rated at different speeds will result in your network
running at the speed of the slowest rated component
