In addition to a router, you need a straight-through cable for each computer you want to connect
to the network.
To set up a network using a router:
1
Plug one end of the power adapter into the AC connector on the router and the other end
into a grounded, 110V electrical outlet.
2
Turn on your computers.
3
Plug one end of a straight-through network cable into any numbered port on the router
(except the WAN port). The WAN port is used to connect the router to the DSL or cable modem
and is identified by a label or a switch. Plug the other end of the cable into the network
jack on the computer. As each computer is connected to the router, the corresponding green
indicator should light on the front of the router, indicating a good connection.
4
Repeat
for each computer on the network.
5
For an Internet connection, plug a straight-through cable into the WAN port on the router
and the other end into the Ethernet jack on the DSL or cable modem.
Wireless Ethernet networking
Wireless Ethernet networking is the latest advance in computer communication. With a wireless
home network, you can set up your computer wherever you like.
A wireless Ethernet network uses radio waves to communicate. Typically, a wireless Ethernet

wireless computers.
