Well When my Sister comes over during the summer she is going to bring her computer and we want to Get a Router to hook up both our comps... And i need to do what Hubs ARe.. aNd Router i pretty much know actully.. Midknyte 02-11-2003, 08:26 PM hubs and routers are completely different. hubs are basically line splitters. they don't do anything but connect your computers together. a router connects 2 networks together. it directs packets from one network to another. just get a router with a built-in switch like a Linksys BEFSR41 and you'll be set. Jimstep 02-12-2003, 07:43 PM If all you are going to do is have the two computers talk to each other, then the hub or switch will work. If you need to have both computers share a common access to the internet, then the router with the built-in switch will do you good.;) KODJFEI 02-12-2003, 10:27 PM ok thanks uow!S 02-13-2003, 05:23 PM Hub: Layer 1 device A junction boxes(connects computers through cables) Perform as repeater(regenerates a signal but sends it out on all ports that attached) Router: Layer 3 device Separate networks or subnetworks Decide routes based on network address Separate collision and broadcast domains SysOpt.com
