Which is better? Router or Hub. I only have one other computer hooked up, with d-link di-604 router. I use emule for my P2P. While hooked up to router, I lose my connection for a second, just enough to throw things off. I've forwarded all ports necessary, so no prob. there. If I had a hub, would i have this problem? Not sure what the difference is between the two.. Thanks..
A router is better than a hub. Basically a hub receives a packet in one of it's ports and sends it out every other port. A hub does not provide any DHCP services or do anything other than forward packets. A router receives a packet and only sends it to the port that it is destined for, not every port. Most home routers also have DHCP services, NAT, and many have firewalls too.
