to connect the router to the internet (or wan):

    1. connect the router’s wan port to the 10base-t ethernet port on your existing internet access device (your cable modem or dsl modem).

    the attached modem device must provide a standard 10base-t ethernet connection. the model rp114 router does not include a cable for this connection. instead, use the ethernet cable provided with your access device or any other standard 10base-t ethernet cable. if you are using a dsl modem, the modem’s connection to the phone line remains unchanged.

    the ethernet cable supplied by your isp for connecting to your cable or dsl modem may be an ethernet crossover cable rather than a straight-through cable. it is important to use this cable to connect the modem to your router, not to connect your pcs to your router.
