Planning Your Network

Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network diagram to
help identify your network devices and plan out how to connect these devices. The illustration
below is an example of a network diagram.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:

Ethernet 1 – connect to a desktop

Ethernet 2 – connect to a set top box

Ethernet 3 – connect to a Smart TV

Ethernet 4 – connect to a Game console

Wireless – connect a wireless laptop to the built in wireless access point
To create a network diagram:

For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
network.

For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.
