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 connector 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 Step 3 for each computer on the network.
