•[Optional] Network device: You can connect a network device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch) to the X5 modem. If you plan to connect a network device, be aware that you must first connect at least one of your computers directly to the X5. This will be the computer from which you will configure the modem. (For Windows users, this will also be the computer on which you will install the software.)
Note:
Because network devices can be set up in many ways, this user’s guide provides general instructions about connecting a network device to the X5. For information about setting up your network device, see that device’s documentation.
•Additional Ethernet cables. These are only required if you plan to connect more than one computer/network device with an Ethernet port to the X5. (The X5 comes with one Ethernet cable and one USB cable.)
