    is there anyway for me to get my linksys wireless router to run off of my HUB or can you only get it to run off of the modem??? because where my wireless router is right now its not working right theres to much crap interfering with it and i get poor connections and it likes to reset itself and if i can put it in a different part of my house and have it work then i think it would work better then where it is right now and when i had that at my friends house it worked fine no problems at all..... My brother said that he thinks theres a way to do it but he just doesnt know how to can anybody help me???

    Im using Time Warner Road Runner..... My dad had put the modem down in the basement n **** and we have the hub and the wireless router down there to and with all the electronic crap hes got down there its messing with the wireless..... could i just run a LAN cable up to my room which is right above the modem and have a cable going from the modem to the wireless then another back from the router back down to the hub??

    My goal is to the the wireless router in a different area of the house so nothing interferes with it because thats whats happening right now...... I guess its a switch then because we have computer all over the house and lines running here and there so they are online accessible.... But all i want to know if i can take a line off of the switch and plug it into the wireless router and have it work that way or is it not possible??.....
