Re: Cat5 cable split?

right, put a hub in front of the router and then run one cable to the router and a second cable to the receiver; but, why not protect your receiver behind your router (firewall)?

When I say hub, it's just a dumb 'splitter'; a switch has some smarts, but not as smart as a bridge or router
