12.2.2 Broadband Connection (Ethernet)
The Router’s Broadband Connection types describe the interface used to connect your Router to your broadband
network. Broadband Connection (Ethernet) means that Ethernet is the hardware used to connect the Router to the
Internet. By factory default, Broadband Connection (Ethernet) is Disabled in the Router. However, you can Enable
this connection type. To Enable Broadband Connection (Ethernet) you must (1) connect your Router to your existing
network device using an Ethernet cable, as described in section 5.1, and (2) configure your Router’s network
co
nn
ection settings for the physical connection type.
NOTE: After you have installed the Router to your network and turned on the Router, it will automatically detect
which connection protocol type is being used.
In this example, the Router is connected to the broadband network using the Router’s WAN port. Remember, when
you use the Router’s WAN port, you must also configure the Router’s network connection settings.
To configure the Router’s network connection settings, click the My Network icon in the top navigation menu, and
then click Network Connections in the left submenu. In the Network Connections screen, click the Broadband
Connection (Ethernet) link.
