Re: [TCLUG:2254] Cable modem is ripping me off

My  Router cost me $149 at compusa, the reason for the hub is the netgear RT311 has only 1
output port, since I already had a hub.  I know there are routers out there with up to 5
outputs and they run about $179 or so. Not sure on the price of hubs but it shouldn't be over
$30-$40 for a 10T 5 port hub, so it's your call on whether you go a multi port router or router
hub setup.
