  1. Ditch the hub and buy a switch.  Shouldn't be more than about $ 20 for a 4-port switch at any electronics store.  Hubs share a connection so the more you add the slower everyone will be.  Switches have independent connections so everyone will connect at equal speeds.

    Hubs?  Really??  It's gotta be at least 10 years old.


  2. you need a network switch

    Use one of the lan connections on the bt home hub (which is not a hub but a router) and connect it to the  lan connection that is separate from the others on the switch then use the other connections on the switch as required
