Posted December 6, 2014 I need a hub but there is no such name in the store im looking at but there is are switches and i am wonering are they the same? no hub sends packages to all connected devices switch(switching hub) sends packages to the destination device edit: a switch most likely would be fine for you.

Posted December 6, 2014 if you mean something like usb hubs, the proper term for networking is a switch. network hubs have a different meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 6, 2014 Ethernet hubs are a thing of the past. Just get a switch (which is just a better, smarter version of a hub). Not to be confused with a "smart switch" though... these are... well even smarter, but not necessary for most home users.
