6.Internet/WAN Port

This port is for connection to your cable or DSL modem. To ensure proper functioning, use the cable that was provided with your modem to connect the modem to this port.

NOTE: Using a cable other than the cable supplied with your cable or DSL modem may cause malfunctioning.

7.LAN Ports

The LAN ports are RJ45, 10/100 auto-negotiation ports for standard UTP category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable. The ports are labeled 1–4. These ports correspond to the numbered LEDs on the front of the Router. Note that Port 4 can be made into an uplink port. This means that by pressing the uplink button in, Port 4 will become an uplink port for the addition of a switch or hub. For more information about the uplink button, see “Uplink Button” below.

8.Uplink Button

The “Uplink” button is provided for use of Port 4 to connect to a hub or a switch for expanding the number of network ports on the Router. If you are connecting a switch or hub to the Router, connect a straight-through (standard) network cable to this port and to a port on the switch or hub. Press the Uplink button IN. This will switch Port 4 into an uplink port.

NOTE: If you connect a computer to Port 4, and the link LED for Port 4 will not turn on, check the Uplink button to make sure that it is in the “Normal” position (OUT).
