Linksys HPN100 manual Telephone Cable

Telephone Cable

The telephone cables you use can be either crossed over or straight-through. Standard telephone cables like the ones you use everyday in your home should do the job.

Note: If you are only sharing Internet access between 2 PCs, you can connect your modem directly to your HomeLink Card using a standard telephone cable. However, if you are sharing Internet access among more than two computers, it is strongly recommended that you obtain a two-way splitter for your phone jack, or that you find another wall phone jack for your modem connection.

Forcing the HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card to supply modem data from the Internet to multiple computers may result in an unstable or failed network connection.
