Hubs are obsolete, but routers often include a switch. A typical home router has four switch ports available and these days likely WiFi too. Hubs may be obsolete if you are buying new, corporate, but for home users who are not concerned with bleeding-edge a old 8-port hub is less

Mind you, so might be a Linksys Wifi router. I picked up a '54G with one dead Ethernet port for $2. Don't care, I have other stuff, just wanted the flashable wifi.
The problem with these 'domestic' units is that the wifi and Ethernet are all on the same subnet.
YMMV. That's the beauty of junk stores :-)
We bought two 16 port switches for $10US each. Only using one at the present time, but it's always nice to have the backup. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.
