I would like to hardwire my internet connections through out the house. My plan is to put a hub/switch in attic and run cable to each room. I have a motorola cable modem going to a netgear 4port wirelessN 5G router. What kind of switch/hub/router would I need to place in attic. We have multiple computers, tv, playstations all in use and wireless signal sometimes gets 'lost'

You would want one with enough ports to go throughout the house. (depending on how you set it up)

You could for example have a 4 port switch in the attic with each port going to a different room (4 in total) to provide a wired connection. This would of course require a switch to be placed in each room, but offers flexibility.

There are many ways you can go about this.

There are some decent guides on Google if you ever need help too!
