Well, I can see just connecting the LAN side of the 8054 to the hub. From
our existing hub, we have an ethernet cable that runs to a jack in the
midddle of the first floor of our house that is an ideal access point
location. But, why must one use a crossover cable rather than a
straighthrough?
Compared to the Net Gear A/P, the new USR appear to test with greater data
throughput rates and substantially greater effective range. The range is
the advantage that we seek.
