Q: is this click switch the same as a hub.
A: No. It is not. You do not want a hub on any network that you run. The GSS108E is a managed switch. It only has eight ports. But I am finding it a good seitch for my home network. Most home networks do just fine with an unmanaged switch. The only thing a hub is useful for is sniffing packets while troubleshooting on your own network. With a hub, only one device can use rhe network at a time. With a switch, multiple decices can communicate at the same time. With a managed switch, you can further segment your networks into other subnets.
