✅ Steps to Connect a Switch in a Network:

1. Power the Switch

• Plug the switch into a power socket using the adapter provided.

2. Connect Switch to Router

• Use an Ethernet cable.
• Plug one end into a LAN port on your router.
• Plug the other end into any port on the switch (except if there's a special “uplink” port — then use that).

3. Connect Devices to the Switch

• Use more Ethernet cables to connect PCs, laptops, printers, etc. to the switch ports.

4. Check LEDs

• Most switches have LED lights for each port.
• If the lights are on and blinking, it means the connection is working.

📝 Notes:

• A switch expands your network and connects more devices.
• It does not provide internet by itself — you need a router for that.
• Use Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cables for better speed.
