Alright for the past week or so my internet speed has dropped down to ~1/2 of the normal bandwidth. I just finished a bunch of testing and have narrowed it down to my hub being the choke point (weird as it was fine a week or two ago.)
Here is a basic illustration of my current network setup, also know that my ISP is providing me iwth two IPs and i am using the hub to split those IPs, one to a machine, the other to a router.
[Cable Modem]---[HUB]---[ROUTER]---[SWITCH]---[PC1]
---[COMPUTER] ---[PC2]
---[ACCESS POINT]
The hub is splitting the IPs, the computer gets one, and the router gets the other one.
Now when i plug directly into the cable modem i get full speed, everything through the router gets ~1/2 speed, and the other computer thats hooked into the hub gets 1/2 speed as well. So this points to the hub being the culprit.
Is there any other way that i can split IPs other than a hub? As i also notice the collision light going off constantly on the hub.
