Hub or router?


I have a couple of both laying around, but, which should I use, I've filled my original linksys router, and need 3 more wired ports, I could use a dlink router or I could maybe use anyone of a couple 4 and 5 port hubs I have laying around, will either work, 2 routers or a router and a hub?

You probably should use hubs (or better switches). Routers are meant to route between two separate networks, whereas hubs/switches connect computers on the same network.
