Network Setup Options
network setuP oPtions
A Local Area Network (LAN) can look very dierent from place to place. To
make it smooth and simple for you to get an idea of how to connect your B3
into your home LAN, take a look at the following scenario pictures.
You might not have the exact same setup as in the scenarios below but feel
free to combine and congure to make it t your needs and requirements.
router + firewall + server mode
In this connection setup B3 is placed as the rst device in your home network
(LAN).
Note that B3 does not include a DSL modem. If your old router has a built in
DSL modem you can not replace that router with B3. If this is the case, connect
B3 as a server in your network.
If you have a separate DSL modem, connect a LAN cable from the DSL modem
and the other end to the WAN port on B3.
If you have a Ethernet wall outlet (RJ45), connect this directly to the WAN port
on B3.
server mode
Use this connection setup if you have another router that you wish to use.
Connect B3s LAN port to your already existing LAN.
