Also, if using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use different Channels. 2. Connect LAN Cables • Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the TEW- 431BRP. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously. • If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable. Any LAN port on the TEW-431BRP will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. 3. Connect WAN Cable Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the TEW-431BRP. Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable. 4.
