    your soho config should be:

    wan -> gateway -> lan

    your wan link plugs into the broadband router. nodes connect to the router either through wifi or ethernet.

    if you need to scale then buy a cheap 10/100 switch. or simply buy more wireless nics.

    the router is important because it provides security, nat, and dhcp.

    a hub or switch is just a link between multiple nodes.

    routers should always be your poc (point of contact).

    and, contrary to popular [dis]believe...internet connection sharing from a workstation is a fucking stupid idea.

    a lot of low-cost soho routers come bundled with ~5 or so vpn licenses. might be a good thing to look into.
