Dear Listers: I now have cable/dsl access for internet. The cable guys wired the house for TV and internet. I want to connect other computers (the boxes are in place) and was told I need a hub from them that will go between the main box to the hub, back to the box. I see how that works, but would a router be a better choice than a hub because it has a firewall? Also, would I need a 4-port router/hub since the wiring is already in place or a 1-port router or a switch of some sort? Just call me confused. Pat in Wyoming
