I found that when copying a CD accross my hub between 2 PCs that the
wireless traffic reflected this. It was totally maxed out and users found
Internet access to be very slow, not just me. I swapped the hub for a switch
and this solved it. The switch I used was just a cheap Chinese unbranded 8
port. I expect you would want to use a known brand.
