I need a hub so I can plug my living room PC and XBOX 360 in on my network because they dont seem to be working that great on wireless. Im looking for something that I can use as a hub so that they appear on the same network rather than NAT getting in the way of things. I would also like it to be a gigbit one. Any suggestions? I dont mind if its a router that I just have to turn the NAT and DHCP features of on.

Im looking at a 5 port Netgear one then. Am I right in thinking that there isnt one external port and 4 internal ones like with a router and that you can just put any of the cables in any of the ports? Forgive me if its a silly question but Im only just getting into networking a bit more and never really looked into it before.
