I have a new high-speed Internet installation coming next week. The provider specifically told me that my package (device) will only have a single 10G Ethernet/LAN port. I’m planing to buy a few more computers and connect them by wired cables (instead of Wifi) to maximize the speed.

If I buy a Hub, will this work?

I found out a Hub does not issue IP addresses. So, will each computer be issued different IP addresses? And, if so, are the IP addresses coming from the device provided by the ISP?

    Yup, I just realized that hub is the old thing.

    Now here is my question: I’ll buy a router. The problem is that it has only 1 10G port. So I’ll still need to buy an additional switch, right? In this setup, DHCP will just work and the IP addresses will be issued from the router, right? And I can also configure the internal IP add. manually, right?
