Planning Your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network
diagram to help identify your network 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:
• Ethernet 1 – Game Console
• Ethernet 2 – Dad’s Computer (PC1)
• Ethernet 3 – Mom’s Computer (PC2)
• Ethernet 4 – IPTV Set Top Box
