I have seen problems with comcast and Optimum, with regards to sharing more than 1 device. &nbsp;Comcast (unless recently changed), has had the policy of charging extra for every device you want to have connected thereafter. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
PS anything's better than a hub<br />

Comcast must have caught up to you. &nbsp;You must pay an additional $6.95 per IP address. You'll want to get a cheap broadband router.. Linksys makes many, netgear, dlink.... You don't need anything spectacular for what you want to do. I wouldn't spend any more than 40 bucks for what you want to do. Walmart, Bestbuy, Target, Compusa all carry them.<br />

Easy to follow instructions come with the device.

2 computers, 1 with win2000, other with xp, connected through comcast supplied motorola SB4220 Surfboard cable modem and lynksys 5-port workgroup hub, no longer have simultaneous internet access which we did have for months. May have something to do with a virus, but both computers scan clean with panda. &nbsp;By unplugging modem for 45 seconds, replugging, and rebooting either computer can gain internet access. &nbsp;would also like to connect xbox. &nbsp;Is the hub a likely problem? should we have a switch instead?

Connecting 2 computers and xbox to comcast

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
