STEP 2: Connect your computers to the Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router (the Router)

In order for you to be able to connect your computers to the Router, each must be equipped with a network interface card (NIC) such as an internal PCI card (for desktop computers), a PC card (for laptop computers), or a USB Ethernet adapter (an alternative for USB-equipped computers only). Each computer connects to the Router via a network cable. You will need one network cable for each PC. The Belkin Gateway Router also connects to your Cable or DSL modem via a network cable. Be sure you have the proper parts before starting. NOTE: Some Cable or DSL modems connect to your computer using USB. Your Cable or DSL modem must have an Ethernet connector on it to connect the Belkin Gateway Router. If your modem does not have an Ethernet connection, you must use a Belkin Switch rather than the Router.

2 networking cables * for each computer, one for the Modem-to- Router connection; and one for the PC-to-Router connection.
