My 4 port Ethernet hub died. Its hooked between the cable modem and two deviced, a router and a internet webcam. Each has its own IP. I pay for two IP's from my provider. It assigns one to the router, and one to the cam.
Anyway, can I just use a switch in place of the hub? Do they work the same? Its hard to find Ethernet hubs, so I thought a switch would work?
The webcam is internet ready with its own ip assigned. Using the router and doing the port forwarding on the cam is not an option.
