Using a Wired/Wireless Router
A wireless / regular router connects several PCs and mobile devices to one internet line and
enables the use of internet and the network.
A wireless / regular router has to be bought separately. Refer to the manual provided
by the manufacturer for instructions.
Connecting a Wireless or Regular Router
If one internet line is used with a wireless / regular router and several devices are
connected, this may result in a slower connection.
In case of a wireless LAN, it is recommended to change the network name and security
settings for a more secure connection.
Network speed can differ according to operation environment and specifications.

the router's WAN port.

4 of the router.
The number of LAN ports can vary for each router model.
3 Please refer to the manual provided by the router manufacturer for setup of the network
and Internet.
