Connecting with a cable

Built-in network feature

The built-in network feature makes it easy for you to connect your
computer to the Internet using a cable.
But first, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) -- usually a phone or cable
company -- will have to go to your home or office to set up Internet
service. The ISP will install a small box, called a router, that will allow
you to connect to the Internet.
Once your router is set up, all you have to do is plug one end of a
network cable into the network port on your computer, and the other
end into a port on your router. (Refer to the image below.) Then, you'll
be ready to get online.
