How to Connect a T1 to a Netgear Router

T1 is a type of high-speed Internet connection that offers speeds much faster than regular dial-up or DSL Internet access. If you want to share the T1 line in your home among several computers, you can connect your T1 Internet modem to a Netgear computer router. As long as you already have the T1 Internet modem and the Netgear router, the only other thing you'll need is an Ethernet cable.

Things You'll Need

• Ethernet cable

Instructions

1. Turn both your T1 Internet modem and your Netgear computer router around so that you can see the back of each device. The modem will have one Ethernet output. The router will have four Ethernet cable inputs. They will be labeled appropriately.

2. Plug either end of the Ethernet cable into the input on the back of your T1 Internet modem.

3. Plug the other end of this Ethernet cable into the Ethernet cable input on the rear of the Netgear router that has a "1" above it.
