I currently have a LAN setup with a 4 port hub and 3 computers. I recently ordered DSL and would like to add/change to a router. If I replace the hub with the router, will I still be able to play network games in my LAN? Or do I need to keep the hub and connect that to the router? Thanks!!!

I am not sure if you need to keep the hub or not, but you should use the &quot;[&quot; and &quot;]&quot; instead of &quot;<&quot; and &quot;>&quot; in your sig.

You can use a router as a hub, that is, if the router has a built in hub/switch. Most routers need a hub to share the connection with other computers over a LAN. Linksys has a router with a built in hub.
