Step 4: Connecting Additional
Computers to the Internet
The X5 supports the direct connection of up to five Windows
computers—four with Ethernet ports and one with a USB port.
If you want to connect more than five computers to the Web, you
can plug a network device (such as a wireless access point, router,
hub, or switch) into one of the LAN ports to expand the number
of Internet connections to 253.
Note:
Depending on how many computers/network devices you plan to
connect, you may need to purchase additional Ethernet cables. The
X5 comes with one Ethernet cable and one USB cable. (Because
the X5 supports only one USB connection, additional USB cables
are not needed.)
Once your initial computer has been successfully connected to the
Web, you can now connect the other computers and/or a network
device.
