Ethernet Port Not Working On Hub
Hello,
I got the WiFi working no problem. If I plug an Ethernet cable into the back of the modem and directly into a computer it works fine. But if I plug it into a hub that the same computer is plugged in to, the computer is not connected to the Internet. Same thing if I plug it into a Wireless router. Do I need to configure something for it to work?

You may need a "crossover" cable. While i haven't seen then need for these in a long time, typically lan/wan ports on a switch "back in the day" required a crossover while device endpoints (pcs/devices) were the default. it's been a long time, and most devices handle this
