    It has 3 x 10/100 Ethernet Ports, so you can connect via Ethernet cables. Usually the first port connects from DSL. Second and third to a computer's network card.

    Hi teriel9, welcome to 7F! :)

    Sure! all you need is a cat5 or 6 cable, the length is up to you.

    If I saw the pix right, run the cable from one of the yellow connections to your network socket on your machine.
