3.1.2 Connecting Computers to the XRouter Pro
When you complete connecting the XRouter Pro to your DSL or cable modem, now you may connect the Macintosh or PC computers in your local area network to the XRouter Pro. Two methods can be implemented for the connection: (1) plugging computers directly into the XRouter Pro, and (2) connecting the XRouter Pro to your LAN hub.

NOTE: To connect more than four computers to the XRouter Pro, simply plug additional computers into a network hub and plug this hub into the XRouter Pro’s uplink port. Read below for further instructions.
