Note: You can also attach the X4 to an access point,
switch, or network hub via its ETHERNET jack and
thereby connect multiple computers.

the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the
two.
If your hub has a numbered port or if you are using an
access point, you need a crossover Ethernet cable (sold
separately).
