to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps hub
with the router.

router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps

Phillips screwdriver to loosen the WIC or VIC covers.
Cisco WIC To make a WAN connection, the router must have a supported WIC
installed. The router supports up to two cards. You can either order
the cards when you order the router, and they will be installed for
you, or you can order the cards separately, after you receive the
router, and install them yourself.
Cisco VIC To make a voice connection, the router must have a supported VIC
installed. The router supports up to three cards. You can either order
the cards when ordering the router, and they will be installed for
you, or you can order the cards separately, after receiving the router,
and install them yourself. You must install digital signal processors
(DSPs) to use VICs in the router.
