that all of your hardware is
powered off, including the
Router, PCs, hubs, switches,
and cable or DSL modem.
B Connect one end of an Ether-
net network cable to one of
the numbered ports on the
front of the Router (see Figure
B). Connect the other end to
an Ethernet port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, print server,
hub, or switch.
Repeat this step to connect
more PCs or other network
devices to the Router.
