Plan Your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network diagram to help
identify the devices and plan out how to connect these devices. The illustration below is an example of
a network diagram.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
•
USB – USB printer or Network Storage Drive (Support FAT16/FAT32 Only)
•
Ethernet 1 – Dad’s Computer
• Ethernet 2 – Mom’s Computer
• Ethernet 3 – Gaming computer
•
Ethernet 4 – Another router
To create a network diagram:

For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the network

For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.
