I have a SMC Barricade Wirless Router.

It comes with wireless, 3 ports and a printer server.

Now I want to possibly connect more than three computers up to the router using wires.
Basically multiple computers in the same room. Now using one of the ports on
the router can you connect a hub to it to get additional ports. I don't see why not,
but I am just checking.

Not much to explain really. Connect a LAN port on your router to the uplink port on a hub or switch with a patch cable. If you have a hub/switch without an uplink port use a crossover cable. Your done.
