Router gets the cable in the WAN port. Then you plug into one of the lan jacks with a PC. connect to the router, and configure it how you want, with DHCP enabled. Setup static assignments to the XBox's and place them in the DMZ. Then if you don't need the hub, I'd get a switch if you really do, plug the rest of the machines into the router\switch. This should allow you to use them all without problems.

good luck
