Connecting to an Ethernet or Fast Ethenet Network
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable into the USB Network Adapter’s
LAN 10/100 port.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub,
switch, or router. If you plan to use both 10BaseT and 100Mbps network
segments on the same network, you'll need a dual-speed hub or switch
that allows segments of different speeds to communicate. For more infor-
mation on 10/100 dual-speed hubs and switches, visit the Linksys web
