Knowing nothing about wink hubs, 1 thing you can try is setting up the wink hub in the netgears DMZ when its hardwired in.
I'd also contact wink hub about this.

plemans,
I contacted Wink several times without a solution to my problem, they are not the easiest tech support to work with (email only and not very quick with answers). When you say setup Wink in DMZ, what do you mean? I'm unfamiliar with that type of setup. Could you elaborate for a newbie?
Thanks, Lou F.
