I have a DSL router that has five ports, im connecting 2 computers and 2 xbox systems. I have a hub and was wondering which should i use?? I know i have to use the router. But should i connect the hub to the router and use it to connect my devices to? Or just connect them to the router directly?? (current setup)

it would be better to connect the devices to the router. not the hub. the hub will increase collisions

I couldn't agree more, if your playing the XBOX (assuming your using XBOX Live), both system's will be sending alot of packet's, and often at the same time, causing collision's. Because of this your better to go directly to the router.
