USB 3.0 port—Connect and share USB drives on your network.

Ethernet ports—Connect ethernet cables to these Gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000) ports and to other wired devices on

your network. If you plan to have more than one node in your Wi-Fi system, you can add child nodes wirelessly or create

wired connections using these ports. If the new child node has a port labeled Internet, use that one.

Note—For best performance, use a CAT5e or higher rated cable on the Ethernet port.

Internet port—Connect an ethernet cable to this 5-Gbps (10/100/1000/2500/5000) port, and to a broadband internet

cable/DSL or fiber modem. If you plan to use this router as a child node in your Wi-Fi system, you can add it wirelessly

or use this port to wire it to an ethernet port on another node that has already been set up. The Internet port of a child

node is automatically configured as an Ethernet (LAN) port and does not have direct connection to the internet.

Power port—Connect the included AC power adapter to this port.
