Connect the Internet Broadband Router
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the
Internet Broadband Router, either the “X” or “II” port to be
connected, depends of what the broadband modem specification
is using.
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of
the xDSL or Cable modem.
3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the
computer system, the other end of the cable connects to the LAN
port of the Internet Broadband Router. Since the Internet
Broadband Router has four ports, you can connect up to four
computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a
switch to connect these computers since one Internet Broadband
Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
