Chapter 2: Getting to Know the CNet Wireless-G Router

The Router’s ports are located on the Router’s back panel.

Internet The Internet port is where you connect your cable or DSL modem through an Ethernet network cable. Your modem connection will not work from any other port.

Ports 1-4These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports connect to network devices, such as PCs, print servers, and network attached storage (NAS). Each of the ports will auto-detect whether a straight-through or crossover cable is plugged into it, so there is no need for an uplink port. Any one of the four ports can serve as an uplink port to other network devices.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.

The Router’s LEDs display information about the Router’s status.
