    A router or 4-8 port switch will fulfill your need. you can buy either of them. plug the main ethernet cable into switch then plug more lancables to the switch for every computer.and my prefrence between two is Switch. hope it help you

    everyone know Switches are much smarter than hub although they are slightly overpriced than hub but the performance we can is uncomparable. a switch can save lots of network bandwidth by just eliminating unncessary network traffic.

    yes there is difference with swith and a hub.
    like working of switch is based on hardware but hub is on software.
    both of them have speed but swithch is good than hub.
