the router is a cable or DSL modem that provides access to the Internet.

•
One router

One broadband Internet connection (optional)

Ethernet cables connecting all of the network equipment
When buying your router, be sure the model includes everything your network needs, including:

Internet security features, such as a firewall, to protect your network from unwanted
intruders

For best results, all Ethernet components should be either standard Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps
or 10/100), or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000). A mixture of components rated at different speeds will
result in your network running at the speed of the slowest rated component
