Question : hub vs switch

What is the difference between a hub and switch?  I was looking at a Linksys EZXS88W and Linksys EFAH08W because I needed a few more ports on my router.

Thanks

Answer : hub vs switch

Hi,

YEs you can use the Switch like Linksys EZXS88W and Linksys EFAH08Wfor for make more connection on your router. HUB is not good device because HUB is work on Physical layer so its devide the connection bandwidth and speed is slow then the switch. A switch is provide you dedicated way to your server to client so its fast.
