A router connects two different
networks together; a hub connects computers on the
same network.
That being said, most (if not all) DSL routers serve as both a router
and a hub, effectively allowing you connect your machines both to each other, and to the outside world.
The router will provide the IP address to your local network, so you don't have to muck with it every time you on turn your PC or game system.
