  is probably better to set up the wireless router as close to the cable modem and not put in a other room, etc.

  doesn't matter where you put the router in proximity to modem, as long as it's under 100 meters, which is max range of cat5e cable

  you could just use a switch (not a router), as long as the router is handing out as many IP addresses as needed (DHCP).

  (You said 'hub' but I assume you mean a router is attached to the cable modem)

  • no configuration needed with this method– ribit
