Hubs are just electrical repeaters, they do not "store and forward" packets, limiting speed and distance (100M total length - 50M each way only). With a switch, each wire is a dedicated link, and can go 100M on it's own Second, don't use an address ending in a "1", those are usually reserved for routers or gateways (usually the same box). With switches, you just run an ethernet cable between the two switches, and then you can plug any switch into a router later if you want to get internet. Basically, just plugging in all the computers into a hub or switch just puts them all on the same LAN. If you cannot run a cable between the two sites, you can set up a transparent wireless bridge (devices are not seen by the LAN users in general). You can leave the bridge routers in the same LAN if you wish, to make it easy to administer. I use these: https://www.demarctech.com/products/reliawave-rwr/rwr-hpg-i.htm and a pair of external wireless flat panel antennas.<br><b>References : </b><br>Other cheap router that can "transparent bridge": http://www.ovislink.com//wirelessindoor/wr650a/wr650a.html First, use switches instead of hubs.
