The Broadband Wireless Router incorporates a four-port switch for connection to your local Ethernet network. The
Ethernet ports are capable of operation at either 10Mbps (10Base-T) or 100Mbps (100Base-Tx), depending on the
Ethernet interface of the attached PC, hub or switch. For any connection which will operate at 100 Mbps, you must
use a Category 5 rated cable, such as the Ethernet cable included with the Broadband Wireless Router. Please follow
