Adding to a DSL Router...

If I have a 4 port DSL router with 4 computers attached and I want to hook up say 2 more computers, how does that work? Could I attach another hub to the router's uplink port or would I need an additional router hooked to the first router's uplink to be able to share the internet access with the now six computers?
 
You would add a hub or switch, to one of the 4 ports, and attach the 3 computers to that hub/switch.

 
Yep, that's the deal have three PC on the router and from the uplink port on the router, run that to the uplink port on the hub. Just to clarify about the three PCs - the regular port closest to the uplink port is usually disabled if the uplink port is used. It's one or the other, all four port with no uplink or three ports and use the uplink...
