1.2Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and your computer and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end connected to your modem.

1.3Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the back of the Router labeled “Internet/WAN”.

1.4Connect a new network cable (not included) from the back of the computer to one of the ports labeled “1–4”. Note: It does not matter which numbered port you choose.
