In order to transfer information across the internet, a computer needs to first know the IP address (Internet Protocol - A postcode, if you would) of the computer that will bereceiving the data. Then the information is bundled intopackets, little packages of data with the IP address, other addressing and error-checking data and the actual information that is being sent. Then, these packets are sent down to your ISP (Internet service provider). From there it travels along the quickest path it can, across multiple networks, major servers, etc. (i.e. it goes across the Internet by the path it can find) until it reaches the computer it is intended to go to. The multiple routers and other pieces of network hardware help to 'point' the packet to the correct computer (this is where the IP address comes in.)

What is the difference between downloading and uploading?
It's all a matter of perspective. If you are loading something to the computer in front of you from another computer it's called "downloading" If you're loading something FROM the computer in front of you to another computer, it's generally called "Uploading". Another perspective is the SIZE and function of the computer. If you're loading something from a server or large computer to your computer, it's downloading. If you're loading something TO a server or larger computer it's called Uploading.

Why is the internet fast on one computer but when the modem is disconnected and plugged onto another computer it is slower?
Chances are, it is not the internet connection, it is your computer. You can do a Bandwidth test to confirm this. WWW.BANDWIDTHPLACE.COM is one of many that offer a free test. remember, your PC can only take in information as fast as it can handle it. Processor speed, RAM, possible malware infection can all contribute to slower internet speeds.
What will a router do on a network that a hub will not?
In the shortest way to answer: a router takes the information, locates the computer the information is going to specifically, and sends it directly to that particular computer. A hub does the same, but it is more used for Local Area Networks (LAN). *Switches also fall under this category* If internet is desired with a hub or switch, one must take a server (or another computer) and have it communicate to the internet as well as the hub.
