How many machines are on the network?

Replacing the router with a hub would cause so many slow downs and collisions.

My advice; If you have more machines than your router can support, then buy a 100/1000 switch. Connect the switch to the router, then connect the rest of the machines to the switch.

A switch is a lot better than a hub, as hubs are very old and very clumsy in terms of data transfer.
