For this type of setup, consider a Managed Switch. While you can cascade hubs and switches, these can promote bottlenecks. The speed capability of the switch is critical- you should be able to run 1 or 10Gb simultaneously on all your devices.
Consider the use of VLANs to separate traffic. For performance and security.
Consider the use if a dedicated firewall such as pfsense.
Good luck, and document everything!
Hubs? In 2023? Really? A 10Mb hub certainly would create a bottleneck!
What exactly would be the benefit of a managed switch? Why would you want to pay £100s when £10s is all that's needed?
VLANs in a 3-bedroom house? Really?
10Gb to every device? Let's get real!
This isn't a data centre, it's a house.
