I have broadband cable through a set top box. Im currently using an ethernet cable to connect to my laptop.

However, we have 3 laptops in the house and when someone else wants to use the internet, we simply just plug the ethernet cable into the other laptop, however we have to reset the set top box before the other laptop can see the internet. Anyone know why?

Thinking of buying a hub, so we can plug all 3 laptops in via ethernet, would all 3 see the internet or not ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
