Re: setup home networking

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi

You need the ADSL modem (if currently the modem is connected to a switch you
do not need the switch any more). You did not indicate your modem's model,
if the modem is a Modem/Router Combo you should configure it as a Modem
only.

The Modem's single RJ-45 output should be connected to the Internet side
(WAN port) of the New Router.

The new Router should have 4 ports for wired computers, and can conneted to
many computers that have Wireless cards.

Configuring the Router should be done by following the Router's manual.

The whole thing should look like this,

This might help with the Wireless aspect.
