Connecting Additional
Computers and/or a Network
Device
If you want to connect your X5 to only one computer, please go to
Chapter 3 now. If you want to connect the X5 to additional
computers or to a network device such as a wireless access point or
a switching hub, please continue reading
Chapter 2 below.
This section provides general instructions for connecting the X5 to
additional computers, game stations, Homeplug adapter pairs,
network devices such as a wireless access point or a switching hub,
or a combination of the above. For information about setting up
your specific device, please refer to the documentation that came
with that device. Follow the instructions below for each computer
or other device.
1 In setting up the X5, you connected the X5 to a computer.
Unplug the computer now if you don’t want it to stay
connected to the X5.
2 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet
port on the X5 and plug the other end of the Ethernet cable
into the Ethernet port of the additional device you want to
connect to the X5. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically
called an Uplink or Expansion port. For a router or wireless
access point, this is typically called a WAN port.)
3 If you are connecting a computer or game station, go to step 5

one adapter plugged into the X5 and an AC outlet, and the
other adapter plugged into a computer or game station and an
AC outlet, make those connections and then go to step 5. If
