Sample Ethernet to Computer Connection

A wired Ethernet LAN with more than one computer requires one or more hubs, switches, or routers. You can:

•Connect a hub or switch to the Ethernet port on the SBG901.

•Use Ethernet hubs, switches, or routers to connect up to a combination of 245 computers and wireless clients to the SBG901.
