Xircom® PortGear USB to Ethernet Adapter (PGENET10, U1-E45)

Using a Xircom® Network Adapter with a Cable Modem/DSL Router

Problem:
A Xircom network adapter functions when plugged directly into a cable modem/DSL router. The network adapter does not work when an ethernet hub is put between it and the router, meaning the router is connected to the hub and the Xircom network card is connected to the hub via standard CAT 5 cables.

Cause:
Some cable modem/DSL Routers do not have an uplink port.

Resolution:
Use a crossover cable between cable modem/DSL router and ethernet hub.

This applies to:
