Once a computer that is directly connected to the 

X6

 modem is 

able to browse the Web, you know for certain that your Web 
connection is working. Now you can set up the rest of your 
network. 
It is up to you whether you want to have some computers 
connected directly to the 

X6

 and others connected wirelessly. The 

X6

 supports both wired and wireless connections. You can have up 

to 253 connections, four of which can be wired directly through 
the 

X6

’s four LAN ports. You can also plug a network device 

(such as a hub, switch, or router) into one of the LAN ports. 
To set up your network, you can do any or all of the following, in 
any order that you choose:

If you want to connect a hub, switch, or router directly to the 

X6

, see To Connect a Network Device on page 18. 

If you want to connect additional computers using a wireless 
network, see Setting Up Your Wireless Network on page 20. 

You can connect up to four computers that have Ethernet ports

computer is turned back on in step 3 below.)

Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s 
LAN ports and plug the other end into the computer’s 
Ethernet port.
