Agent to an ISP
In this topology, the wireless router is not only a backbone of your LAN
but also an agent to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may use an
ADSL or Cable modem to communicate with your ISP. Connect the LAN
port on the modem with the WAN port at the back of the ASUS Wireless
Router using a network cable as shown above.
Note: You also need to make sure that other connections on the
ADSL or Cable modem are correct.
