You are setting up a small network in a home. The owner of the network has decided to change his internet service provider $($ISP$)$ to a company called EtherSpeed. The ISP has installed a connection to both RJ$45$ jacks on the wall plate. You are responsible for selecting the correct router to connect the network to the internet. You want to use the fastest connection speed available while maintaining security for the Home$-$PC and Home$-$PC$2$ computers.

In this lab, your task is to complete the following:

Place the appropriate router on the workspace.

Using the power source currently connected to the existing switch, provide power to the new router.

Determine which devices the Ethernet cables $($those that are plugged into the existing switch$)$ are currently connected to$.$

Answer Questions $1-3$ using the Exhibits.

Move all the Ethernet cables from the old switch to an open LAN port on the new router.

Move the Ethernet cable from the old cable modem to the Ethernet wall plate.

On both computers, use the Microsoft Settings app to confirm they have a connection to the network and internet.
