A router is far superior to hub. With a hub, your ISP has to issue two IP address. Many ISPs charge extra for the extra IP address, and if they have not been charging extra, could cut you off from the second IP address at any time. Furthermore, a router provides a hardware firewall that offers additional protection from hackers that is not provided by a hub.

That will pay for the router in about 6 months.
