Router to PC's and Router to hub to PC's. Can they all get along? (1 Viewer)

Question. Right now I have a wireless router that connects 4 PC's via WIRED ethernet. Now I need to hook up a fifth and sxith PC.

Can I SIMPLY add a hub to one of those router lines and extend out my wired network that way?

So I want to be able to add a hub to connect an additional 2 PC's. Will all 6 PC's still be able to talk to each other like the four do now with just the router?

Router to 3 PC's
and
Router to Hub to 3 PC's

Can I do that and is it plug and play?

Yep, that should work just fine plug and play. Just make sure you don't accidentally get another router instead of a hub or switch.
