Cabling and Computer Hardware Requirements To use the WGR614 router on your network, each computer must have an installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will connect to your network at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable such as the one provided with your router.
