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

–

connect to a desktop



Ethernet 2

–

connect to a set top box



Ethernet 3

–

connect to a Smart TV



Ethernet 4

–

connect to a Game console



Wireless

–

connect a wireless laptop to the built in wireless access point

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.
