Q. Where do I connect the modem and the computer on a Linksys VOIP router?

Ethernet ports labeled WAN or Internet and LAN or numbered ports (the numbers depend on the number of ports the router has) are located at the back of a Linksys VOIP router. These Ethernet ports are where the broadband modem and computer will be connected. The Broadband modem should be connected to the WAN or Internet port and the computer should be connected to any of the available numbered ports (1, 2 or 3).</p>
