Hey guys,

I called the tech support guy, and he said that in order for my wireless/wired router (linksys WRT54G wireless router) to work, I need to have it directly pluged into the net, and have everything feed into that...

So now, its:

Net--->Linksys Wireless/Wired Router--->Hub--->PC's

Is it possible to make it so That it looks/works like this:

Net--->Hub--->Wireless/Wired Router--->PC's

I had it hooked up like that, but internet was extremely slow, and I kept getting disconnected....

Does anybody know if it is possible to set up the network like this, and how???

Thanks in advance,

It should be Net > Router > PC. Get rid of the hub as it will cause network traffic.

I just want the wireless in my room, instead of the hub... I get better reception from it being downstairs in my room rather than upstairs... and such...

could you please tell me how to make it work???

Unless you get multiple public IP's, you simply can't. Might I suggest buying a second wireless access point for your room instead?

You can't do it with a hub. A wired to your room access point would be the way to go.

Put the wireless after your cable modem, but extend the antenna into your room, center of ceiling. May or may not be as expensive as an AP. By the way, a wireless router is not the same as a wireless access point. If you install another wireless router into your setup, it will just cause you headaches until you get them configured to work together, and I have not heard of anyone who has, yet.

All a hub does is repeat the packets from the next higher segment of the network to a lower one. In a wireless LAN they're useful as "repeaters" when you're getting to the edge of the broadcast range of the next closest router.

Sometimes wireless just doesn't do very well inside a house: Wires and pipes inside the walls can weaken or even block the signal. It's better to run Ethernet in those cases.
