UPDATE: Once again, the router managed to renew its WAN IP all by
itself. The hub is still in place. I know that as soon as I put the
switch back in there will be trouble. . .

Just for a try:
What happens when you leave the hub in and add the switch after the hub ?

I suppose I could try that, just to see what happens.

For right now, I'm leaving the hub in and the switch out to make sure
things are stable for a few days. I want to be sure that the problem I
described before (losing connectivity to the router from the LAN) is
really only happening when the switch is plugged in.

The hub has been in for about 19 hrs, and still no problems. The
router even renewed its WAN address at least twice. I'm certain that
as soon as the switch is put back in, the problem will come back.

Everything seemed fine with the hub for about 21-ish hours, so i just
put the switch back in. I tried using a different port (not port 16)
to eliminate any possibility that it's an uplink port issue.

So, to clarify, the setup was:

Networked PCs
|
|
**EFAH08W Hub**
|
|
(straight thru cable on port 8 of hub)
|
|
(into LAN port of router)
|
|
BEFSR11 Router
|
|
Cable modem

. . . and NOW it is:

Networked PCs
|
|
**EZXS16W Switch**
|
|
(straight thru cable on port 15 of switch)
|
|
(into LAN port of router)
|
|
BEFSR11 Router
|
|
Cable modem

Let's see if the weird issues come back.

Well, the switch has been back in for almost 24hrs, and so far I've
only had one problem. The router failed to renew its IP address once,
but I didn't lose my WAN connection and I didn't lose connectivity to
the router from the LAN, either.

Since then, the router renewed the WAN address at least twice.

So, I'm cautiously optimistic at this point.

Frankly, I'm not sure that anything I did really should have made a
difference . . . but whatever.
