6 Connecting the Wireless-G Router to Your
Computer/Notebook
6.1 Connecting to the Ethernet
Connect your computer(s)/notebook(s) to the Wireless-G ADSL Router as illustrated. The
following illustration shows the connection of a single computer.
Power off your Computer/Notebook or/and any connected devices before
connecting to the ADSL Router!
NOT SURE HOW THE ETHERNET PORT LOOKS LIKE?
The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Ports on you
Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that comes
with your Computer/Notebook.
Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook
Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet Port,
you will see either ETHERNET, ETH or RJ45 labelled near the Port.
If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the following.
- Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have
8 conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that has only 6
conductors.
- The Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than the LINE Port.
