I have put together a permanent work-around to bypass my router with my game computer, and still have other computers routed with no extra charge from my cable company.Originally Posted by barocca
It required a 4 port hub ($30) and an extra cable.
The hub goes between my cable modem and the router, with the hub’s uplink plugged into my cable modem.
My game computer is attached directly to the hubs port 1, and the WAN output of my router to the hub’s port 2.
All other computers are plugged into the router ports 2 and up. I am not sure if it was necessary to skip router port 1 (where my game computer was plugged in before), but thought it wise.
So far it works great, and I am looking forward to being able to host STW games without the fuss of disconnecting and reconnecting everything.
Will be looking to test this, though I am sure it will work fine
When can we get together B?
