CHAPTER 3 Installing the Gateway Router
Mounting on a Horizontal Surface
MOUNTING ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE
To keep the Wireless Broadband Router from sliding on the surface, the
Wireless Broadband Router has four rubber feet on the bottom of the unit.
It is recommended to select an uncluttered area on a sturdy surface, such as a desktop or table. The unit can also be protected by securing all attached cables to a table leg or other nearby fixed structure.
GATEWAY MODE CONNECTIONS
In its default Gateway Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router forwards traffic between an Internet connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or wireless PCs or notebooks. The basic connections are illustrated in the figure below.
