| About routers, hubs, and switches |
| Sure. The router is the brains of the outfit. String an Ethernet cable between the router and hub, configure the router to distribute IP addresses via DHCP, plug whatever you like into your hub, tell your devices to pull their addresses from the router, and the router will take care of the rest. |
