I believe the adage is - if you're putting new cable in (walls, floors, etc.), go Cat6A. If you've got existing Cat5E, its not worth ripping it out for Cat6a.

just put your SH into modem mode.

It is a simple plug and play.

You might need to reboot some kit.

So which component is now the router?

I assume you mean the SHUB.

I cannot see how this could possibly work as per the OP's requirement for multiple-device connection. No NAT, no routing, one IP address as assigned on the WAN side of the modem.

You are correct. I don't know why Hom3r suggested turning the hub into modem mode. You still need a router.
