Where can I get an Ethernet hub?

AT&T Digital Subscriber Line: FAQs: Equipment Options FA...
Ethernet hubs can be purchased at your local computer store. AT&T does not provide installation support for Ethernet hubs.

Can I connect my computer to an Ethernet hub?

Qwest Choice | FAQs
Yes. SELECT customers may have up to four computers connected simultaneously. However, CLASSIC customers may only have one computer connected to the network at a time. Yes, with Choice OnLine you can surf the Net and simultaneously make phone calls or watch TV. To use a fax machine or dial-up modem while surfing the Net, you must have a normal phone line available. Your computer will not allow you to use our Choice OnLine service and dial-up to another Internet service simultaneously.

When do I need a hub, a switch or a router?

Fast ADSL
The router allows you to make a connection between your network and ADSL, so that more than one computer in your LAN can access the Internet. Certain models may give you further options such as security (firewall). A hub is the point of connection for the router and the computer to connect to the network. A switch acts like a hub but allocates an independent bandwidth to each user. This means the data transfer speed will not be decreased by additional users.

Q: What are the differences between an Ethernet switch and a hub?

Frequently Asked Questions for Gigafast Brand Switches
A switch has chips to store MAC addresses of the connected clients. Hubs do not. Therefore a switch can send packets directly to the intended computer based upon the header of the packets. Hub is different, when hub receives packets, it will broadcast packets to all the clients that are connected and that costs traffic. A switch is more efficient than a hub.

How do I connect a Fast Ethernet hub to a 10Base-T hub?

ProCurve Networking by HP - Support - FAQs
The HP Advancestack 100Base-T Hub-8txe and the ProCurve Networking by HP 100Base-T Hub 8 can only be directly connected to another Class II 100Base-T hub or to a switch. To connect them to a 10Base-T hub, either use a switch in between, or connect them to the ProCurve Networking by HP 10/100 Hub 12 or 12m or ProCurve Networking by HP 10/100 Hub 24 or 24m which are both Class II hubs that autosense the speed of each port to be either 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

Basics: Where can I find a hub/switch/router?

Unofficial Xbox FAQ
Any electronics store that sells computers will sell hubs, switches, and routers. Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, Radio Shack, Fry's - any of these is fine. If you go in and ask for a "networking hub", a "networking switch", or a "cable/DSL router", the pimply-faced saleskid will show you where they are. (I was a pimply-faced saleskid once, so I'm allowed to joke.)

What could happen if a router would become compromised?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The situation would be similar to having compromised server except that router knows all locally (in the router, ie. in the cell) created channels, so all local channels that are not using channel private keys would be compromised. However, channels that are created on other routers, and if there are no local users on those channels in the router, would not be compromised, since channel keys are cell specific.

Can I use an off-the-shelf Ethernet switch or hub?

Aviom Frequently Asked Questions
No, because Ethernet switches and hubs need Ethernet data. They would also add a lot of latency (or delay) to a Pro16 system. For parallel (or "star") connections, use the A-16D or A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor. Links:

Can I just plug the EthIR Beam into my own Ethernet hub without your EthIR Switch?

CSI Technical F.A.Q.
No. An EthIR Beam receives infrared frames from an infrared device and delivers these to the EthIR Switch. The EthIR Switch then translates these infrared frames to Ethernet frames (and vice-versa) forwarding and receiving frames to and from an Ethernet network. An Ethernet hub cannot translate infrared frames. That is the purpose of the EthIR Switch.

Will I need a router instead of a hub for Xbox Live?

Unofficial Xbox FAQ

Can I use my own router/hub/switch to split the Sierra Advantage connection?

Sierra Advantage Wireless Broadband -- 1-877-EDC-WISP / FAQ'...

Can I use my own networking equipment, like a hub or router?

Infostations - Wireless Faqs
Yes, you can, but Infostations won’t be able to provide support for it. So if it breaks, or doesn’t work, for troubleshooting purposes you may be asked to remove any self-installed networking equipment and plug a single computer into the wireless antenna. (return to top)

Is a firewall router provided at installation?

Etheric Networks FAQs Page
We can provide a router recommendation. We require support of standard auto negotiating Fast Ethernet connection.v Please see our hardware recommendations page. Please be EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO USE THE WRT54G V 5.0 - 4.0 or WRT54GL are both fine.

Q: Should I buy a broadband router or an Ethernet switch for my network? What are the differences?

Frequently Asked Questions for Gigafast Brand Switches
A switch can send packets directly to the computer that's connected to LAN. A router is a combination of a switch and a Network Address Translator (NAT). The NAT function in the router allows sharing a single IP address provided by the ISP with PCs connected directly to the router/switch or switch connected to the router. Basically if you are not planning to share a broadband connection in your network, than an Ethernet switch is efficient enough.

None, actually. Cancel out of your installation, reboot, and start the install again. This is a very rare install bug.

What will happen if I have my hand on the steering wheel hub when the bag deploys?

AORC
Drivers with Airbags should keep their hands in a "three o'clock and nine o'clock" position on the wheel. This will enable hands to come off the wheel easily as the bag inflates to full size. If a hand or arm is on the hub at deployment, it will be pushed out of the way by the Airbag, possibly causing injury.
