Feature Description
3 LAN
Ports 1-4
These four ports connect the router to your LAN or home network
using Ethernet cables. This enables communication among clients,
such as PCs or print servers, on the network. The LAN ports support
either 10-BASE-T or 100-BASE-T transmission speeds as well as
straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.
Any of these four ports can also serve as an uplink port to other
network devices, such as another router or switch, which allows you to
extend your network.
4 WAN Connect your modem to your router using this port with your supplied
Ethernet cable. This is the only port you can use for this procedure.
This enables your router to access the Internet. The port supports
10/100 Mbps as well as straight-through and crossover Ethernet
cables.

the antenna to gain the best signal reception.
