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
To create a network diagram:
 For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the network
 For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.
