Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Router to Your
Computer/Notebook
!
Power off your Computer/Notebook or/and any connected devices before
connecting to the ADSL Router!
1.1 Connecting to the Ethernet
Connect your computer(s)/notebook(s) to the ADSL 4 Port
Router as illustrated.
The
following illustration shows the connection of a
single computer.
(All the Ethernet Ports on the ADSL Router are Auto MDI/MDIX. Both Straight and Cross Ethernet
Network cables can be used).
NOT SURE HOW THE ETHERNET PORT LOOKS LIKE?
The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Ports on your
Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that
comes with your Computer/Notebook.
Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook
Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet
Port, you will see
ETHERNET
,
ETH
or
RJ45
labelled near the Port.
If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the
following.
-
Picture A
gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have
8
conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that
has only
6
conductors.
- The Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than the LINE Port.
