With firewall disabled, try setting the ipv4 properties of your connection as follows: ip address:
obtain an ip address automatically.
DNS
Obtain DNS server address automatically
since this is a peer to peer network you have to understand that the two machines are independent of each other so if this is not the settings on your first machine, please duplicate the exact settings of the first machine on the second machine. The hub might be distributing specific requirements from the modem. Hope this helps

Are you sure you got a compatible modem? They are not all alike.

If your hub has 4 or 5 connectors, connect one port to your router. This device will NOT work when connected to your cable modem, as the hub does not manage IP addresses like a router does. Hope this helps ... the remaining ports will feed internet, but not provide Internet addresses to a computer.

Maybe it is an electricity problem, or it's nearing the end of it's life. I bought 2 routers till now.each one worked fine for 2 years and then never worked.You should buy a new one or check if there's something with the electricity . Maybe a higher voltage

Start from the beginning and get the machine ready for embroidery. I found I had not put the feed dogs down when it happened to me

Typically you will connect your router to port 1 of the switch. Unless you have a port that is labeled WAN or Uplink. Then you would use that.

Daisy chain is when you have multiple switches connected to eachother. So it would be router to port 1 computers on ports 2-15, port 16 would connect to port 1 on another switch, and so on.

Hi Sherry - The etherport port on your modem should be connected to the WAN port on your router. You then connect your pc to one of the 4 ethernet ports on the router. If this answers your question PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks.

donn't connect the cable driect you use the 5port or 8port swicth then take a cble to modem to that swicth then how many computer you have to connect you can

only thing you need to get a 3.3v adapter. your hub will work when to turn it on.
i guess it uses 5mA.
