Connecting Additional Computers

There are three ways to connect the Router to additional computers for network- ing: USB or Ethernet cable, or wirelessly. Select the type of connection, then follow the instructions.

Connecting via Ethernet

☞Note: If the first computer was connected via Ethernet, an Ethernet hub or switch must be purchased and installed to add more Ethernet-connected computers to the network. To con- nect more computers to the network using an Ethernet hub or switch, see the documentation that came with the hub/switch.

The following procedure assumes that a computer has not already been connected to the Router via Ethernet.
