Unfortunately, i don't have an Ethernet port in my room, So i cannot connect a router in my room to plug in my consoles and PC. I have 1 100ft ethernet cable running from the router in my house, to my PC. I was wondering if there was some sort of Hub where i can connect the ethernet cable from the Router to the Hub, and have the Hub connect to my PC, and consoles. (Xbox one and PS4).

yes and that is a ethernet switch. dont get ethernet hubs get ethernet switches as they are more intelligent than hubs when it comes to connecting devices

Thanks. I did not know they were called switches.

Hub vs Switch: Similar Roles

Each serves as a central connection for all of your network equipment and handles a data type known as frames. Frames carry your data. When a frame is received, it is amplified and then transmitted on to the port of the destination PC. The big difference between these two devices is in the method in which frames are being delivered.

In a hub, a frame is passed along or "broadcast" to every one of its ports. It doesn't matter that the frame is only destined for one port. The hub has no way of distinguishing which port a frame should be sent to. Passing it along to every port ensures that it will reach its intended destination. This places a lot of traffic on the network and can lead to poor network response times.

Additionally, a 10/100Mbps hub must share its bandwidth with each and every one of its ports. So when only one PC is broadcasting, it will have access to the maximum available bandwidth. If, however, multiple PCs are broadcasting, then that bandwidth will need to be divided among all of those systems, which will degrade performance.

A switch, however, keeps a record of the MAC addresses of all the devices connected to it. With this information, a switch can identify which system is sitting on which port. So when a frame is received, it knows exactly which port to send it to, without significantly increasing network response times. And, unlike a hub, a 10/100Mbps switch will allocate a full 10/100Mbps to each of its ports. So regardless of the number of PCs transmitting, users will always have access to the maximum amount of bandwidth. It's for these reasons a switch is considered to be a much better choice than a hub.

Give me a link to a ethernet hub then I couldnt find it, all it did was give me a ethernet switch.

Hubs and Switches are indeed different things. Hubs used to be far cheaper than switches. They also were faster latency-wise when there was no network traffic. The cost of switches have come down and performance improved so much that you don't see hubs anymore.
