If you dont mind paying, consider using the Hub5 in modem mode with your own better quality router and wireless equipment (nb - if you have the Hub5-x - it doesn't do modem mode!)
Note that using your own router won't give faster speeds as 1Gbps coming into a hub will always be reduced out of a Gigabit LAN port by Ethernet frame and TCP/IP overheads. You might be lucky to get as much as 940Mbps.
Even if you use the 2.5Gbps port of the hub 5 you still suffer overheads but would expect a bit better than 940Mbps - but you won't get some big increase.
