B. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back panel of the DWL-2210AP and the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet Broadband Router (i.e., D-LinkDI-604) or Switch (i.e., D-LinkDSS-5+).Note: You also have the option of connecting the DWL-2210AP directly to the computer that will be used for configuration. The LAN LED light should illuminate to indicate a proper Ethernet connection. (Note: The Ethernet Port on the DWL-2210AP is Auto-MDI/MDIX. This allows you to use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to connect to the Ethernet port on the DWL-2210AP.)

C. The DWL-G650 AirPlus Xtreme G™ Wireless Cardbus Adapter and the DWL-G520 AirPlus Xtreme G™ Wireless PCI Adapter will connect, right out of the box with the DWL-2210AP, using their default wireless settings. Computers with 802.11b wireless adapters can also connect to the DWL-2210AP.
