Connecting CheckBox
The best way to connect your CheckBox System is directly to your DSL, Fiber or cable
modem. You may also connect it through a switch or hub to the DSL or cable modem.
In order to keep guest network traffic separate from your office computers, office
computers should not be connected through the CheckBox. A typical setup as shown
below will keep office and guest data separate while allowing the CheckBox to share the
Internet connection with one modem.
You may also use an Ethernet switch attached to your CheckBox to connect multiple
CheckBox Meshing Access Points to your CheckBox. You can also connect a wired PC
for guests to use to this switch. When connecting multiple access points or guest PCs to
the CheckBox be sure to use an Ethernet switch and not a router—routers plugged into
the guest network after CheckBox will cause issues with guest being properly
authenticated and managed.
