Plan your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network
diagram to help identify your network devices and plan out how to connect these
devices.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
Ethernet 1 – Set-top Box
Ethernet 2 – Game Console
Ethernet 3 – Desktop Computer
Ethernet 4 – Dad’s Computer
Ethernet WAN – ONT
To create a network diagram:
For
wireless devices,
identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
network
For
wired devices
, identify which router port you want to use for each device.
