[AccessD] [dba-Tech] Hub problem

Router is a netgear WPN824 V2 Rangemax.  I don't think there's any
difference among the ports.

I have essentially the same thing going on. "Recenttly" (3 years ago) I
swapped out the hub for a switch to take advantage of gigabyte boards in
some of my systems. On my router only port 1 is setup to have a hub or
switch set up on it. You might check your router documentation. That cable
then goes into the UPLOAD port on the switch or hub. All ports may not be
equal when it comes to connecting additional hubs and or switches.
