This applies to both a wired and a wireless connection between your PC and the SL400i.

If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet connection, you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless (or wired) network that connects to the SL400i.

To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network.
