Hey Bob, thank you for the response, I tested it through a laptop and it has no issues. I'm not sure if you mean I should keep it hooked up that way or not, but it's not something that would make a permanent solution. Yes there is a router in the modem that feeds the switch, but there isn't one that feeds out into the blu ray player. I really only set that up because it was the device that the player was hooked upto before and I needed it to temporarly stream Netflix. If I can get it, I would simply like to hook the Blu Ray straight into the switch but no matter what I do it wont connect.

Hi, my dad recently upgraded my house internet to a more modern system and now I can't get everything to connect at the same time. We work at home and my family and I share the internet so currently in the network we have 7 computers (6 Macs, 1 PC), and Xbox 360 and an LG Blu Ray player. We had a modem, a modem, a hub and a wireless router in a chain which was starting to get slow, so we upgraded to an 8 port NETGEAR FS108 Hub. We hooked it up so it was 1 in line, 5 cables out for computers, 1 out for the Blu Ray player (a BD550 which has no wireless capabilities) and one out for the wireless router (a NETGEAR N300, which connects to 2 computers and the Xbox) Everything worked great except the blu ray player isn't connecting. I have tried connecting the blu ray player through the old modem and connecting the old modem to the hub and it works fine but I can't get the wireless Router and the old modem to work at the same time now. I would just prefer to plug the Blu ray into the hub and have only the Hub and the Router but I can't get it to work. Side note, I have big house and all of these lines were wired through walls so I can't plug the blu ray into the Router with ease and I can't run the hub as an output from the Router either. At any given time I can get up to 8 machines working at once and I would prefer to have everything so any help is appreciated. -Jack
