I was going to do that, but I'm pretty sure my router is hooked to this port on the hub. Not sure if it's possible to just hook it up to a standard port. That and the fact that I'm not so sure I could easily run a hard wire upstairs are the primary reasons I was trying to use the wireless portion of my router for this function.
