A porter cable router is similar to a fixed amp router. A porter cable router follows the exact features of a regular router plus offers to additional connections on the laminated plug area.
It would be possible to obtain a Cisco router cable from various different stores and outlet stores that sell cables and other equipment for internet connections such as the Cisco router cable in particular.
A router is a device that acts as connection between two different networks. In this case, the cable company has one network, which includes your Internet Connection. The network is your home computer or computers. The cable router allows these two networks to connect with each other and share information.
It routes things... lol If you have a cable internet connection for instance, the cable company gives you a cable modem that connects to the cable jack in the wall. To split this signal amongst multiple computers you need a router. The router plugs right into the modem and the computers plug into the router. The router then will devide the internet signal between the computers.
A PS3 has WiFi and you can put the router next to your modem. The only thing the back of a PS3 uses for the internet is for a wired connection with an ethernet cable to your router or modem instead of a WiFi connection
You can not connect a DSL modem/Router to a Cable modem the are two completely different devices. Basically one speaks English the other speaks Mandarin and neither has Rosetta Stone.
Connecting a Linksys Wireless Router to a modem will allow computer users to achieve a wireless Internet connection. Plug the blue Ethernet cable into the port labeled, "Ethernet", on the back of the modem. Plug the other end of the blue cable into the port labeled, "Internet", on the router. Plug a second Ethernet cable into the port labeled, "1", on the back of the router, and plug the other end into the back of the computer.
The ethernet cable has two ends. One end gets plugged in to your PC, and the other end gets plugged in to your router, or switch, or cable modem. Wherever your network connection comes from.
I'd say: just plug it in! Routers are to be placed between the modem (cable modem or ISDN or something alike) and the LAN (in other words the switch, which opens up the LAN). All users connect to the internet or another system via the router which will be the default gateway for the LAN. Switchs do not have a special port for routers. It doesn't matter which port you use. Everything else will be configured by the network settings on the router and the clients within the network. (In order to configure the router you might want to use a crossed patch cable and connect directly from your workstation to the router. Modern router provide a homepage through which you configure the device. By using the crossed cable you can be certain not to interrupt the normal network)
There are a few different types of cables that can be used to connect routers, but the most common is the Ethernet cable. This is a cable that has RJ-45 connectors on each end, and it can be used to connect devices that are within 100 meters of each other.
To set up a router in one room and a desktop in another, first connect the router to your internet source (like a modem) using an Ethernet cable. Then, use another Ethernet cable to connect the router's LAN port to the desktop in the other room. If running a cable is impractical, consider using a wireless connection by connecting the desktop to the router's Wi-Fi network. Finally, make sure to configure the router's settings through its web interface for optimal performance.
You should be able to do that, but some minor tweaking of setting might be required.
first, make sure the router is wired to your dsl/cable modem (network cable is pluged on your router's internet port & the another of that goes to the port of your modem). Get another network cable, plug it to your laptop (there's one or two socket that fits that network cable on any side of your laptop), then plug the other end of the network cable to any port numbers of the rtr.....hope that'll help! ;)
