Congratulations on the purchase of a Linksys HomeLink Broadband Network Bridge, the complete Internet connection solution for your Home Phoneline network. This unique new device features two HomeLink RJ-11 standard tele- phone ports (configured as one pass-through port), and two 10BaseT Ethernet ports with one shared uplink port. Plug in your cable modem or DSL modem’s 10BaseT connection, then attach the bridge to the nearest telephone jack using standard phone cables, and any computer on your Home Phoneline network can access the Internet.*
