YES, the first thing to understand is that there is a vast difference in the two. HUB and ROUTERS (Hub is a Traffic Cop, that is able to focus on the job at hand and perform exactly as needed with traffic. A router is merely a traffic light that performs exactly as commanded.) Now any wireless hub or router will connect any wireless device, but to share a high speed intenet (Cable or DSL)you MUST have a HUB. Hubs are designed to receive a broadband carrier and wireless traffic. But if you having difficulty connecting most likely your wireless devices are not finding or detecting the wireless router or hub. Winxp is unusual, but the best fail safe here is install software for all devices and SHUTDOWN everything! Broadband modems, wireless hub/router and all connected computers. Disconnect power to Broadband modems and wireless hub/router. Wait 10-15 seconds then Plug in power to Braodband modem first. Then wait about 5 seconds and plug in wireless hub/router. Once bioth devices are light up normally turn on all connected computers. The computers should detect the system and self route to compleation.

How you can share usb printer between two PC without using usb hub or switch?

This answer assumes that the two computers are networked some how. This means that they are probably connected to a router or something of the sort. The way to share a usb printer is to install the printer and the drivers on the computer that will be on the most. Once you have installed it, go to control panel, printers, and find your printer. Right click the printer and choose the option for sharing. From here you can choose who will have access, what operating systems to share the drivers for and several other options. The one caveat here is that the computer that the printer is connected to must be on for the other computers to print from it.
