Chapter 7: Networking Your Computer Cable/DSL modem Router Tips & Tricks To add the ability to access a wireless Ethernet network to your wired Ethernet network, connect an access point to the router or use a router that has a built-in access point, such as the Linksys wireless access point router with 4-port switch. For more information about accessing a wireless Ethernet, see "Using a wireless Ethernet network" on page 83. Equipment you need for a router-based wired Ethernet network For a wired Ethernet network you need: ■ Two or more computers with Ethernet jacks ■ One router ■ One broadband Internet connection (optional) ■ Ethernet cables connecting all of the network equipment Important For best results, all Ethernet components should be either standard Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10/100), or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000). A mixture of components rated at different speeds will result in your network running at the speed of the slowest rated component. 88 www.gateway.com
