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 –connect to a desktop

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.
