I would like to hook up more computers behind my linksys 4 port router. Ports are full. Can I use a hub? Can everyone still get onto the internet?:confused:

Yes and Yes if you set it up correctly.

What type or brand hub would you suggest?

Any old brand is fine. I like Linksys on Linksys 'cause they stack so nice. :D

Just be sure to use the Uplink port on the BEFSR41 to any port on the hub. Use a crossover from plain port to plain port and a crossover from uplink to uplink. Otherwise, use a patch cable.

It alls depends on your overall Networking if its just for Internet yes any ol hub will do, but if you network between PC get a 10/100 hub or switch
