The following shows a typical single-user connection.
Check if your Computer/Notebook has an Ethernet Port.
2.1.2 For Multiple-User Connection
For more than 2 computers/notebooks connections, you may also expand the Ethernet
connection by connecting the ADSL Router to an Ethernet Switch/Hub. Please note, if your

NOT SURE HOW THE ETHERNET PORT LOOK LIKE?
The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Ports on
your Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the
documentation that comes with your Computer/Notebook.
Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook
Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For
Ethernet Port, you will see ETHERNET, ETH or RJ45 labelled near the
Port. If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the
following.
- Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports
have 8conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B)
that has only 6conductors.
-The Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than the LINE Port.
A. ETHERNET: B. LINE:
See the following illustration.
For details on the connection and types of Ethernet Network cable to use with the Ethernet
Switch/ Hub, please refer to documentation that comes with your Ethernet Switch/Hub.
