USB 3.0 port
—Connect and share USB drives on your network.
Ethernet ports
—
Connect ethernet cables to these Gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000) ports and to
other wired devices on your network. If you plan to have more than one node in your mesh Wi-Fi system,
you can add child nodes wirelessly or create wired connections using these ports.
If the new child node
has a port labeled Internet, use that one.
Note—
For best performance, use a CAT5e or higher rated cable on the Ethernet port.
Internet port
—Connect an ethernet cable to this 5-Gbps (10/100/1000/2500/5000) port, and to a
broadband internet cable/DSL or fiber modem. If you plan to use this router as a child node in your
mesh system, you can add it wirelessly or use this port to wire it to an ethernet port on another node
that has already been set up.
Power port
—Connect the included AC power adapter to this port.
