xDSL/Cable Modem Connection

The Broadband Home Router provides continuous and high-speed access between your

wireless and Ethernet devices. In addition, it can connect your entire network to the Internet

through an external broadband access device (such as DSL modem or cable modem shown as

Network 1 in the figure below).

Note

1. The attached xDSL/cable modem must provide a standard 10Base-T Ethernet

connection. Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any

other standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable.

2. The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your xDSL/cable modem

may be an Ethernet crossover cable rather than a straight-through cable. It is

important to use the cable provided by your ISP to connect the modem to your

Broadband Home Router.

2. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of your

Broadband Home Router, and the other end to a hub or a client PC (shown as Network 2
