For simplicity, we will take TL-SF1005D for example throughout this Guide.
Connection
The connection diagram illustrates how to set up the network. The Internet connects to the WAN Port of the Router. The LAN Port of the Router connects to one of the Ethernet Ports (1-5) on the switch. Personal Computers (PC) can then be connected to the remaining Ethernet Ports on the switch. A Power Adapter connects to the switch to provide power.
