If your reference to a Switch/router refers to a router with a built-in N-Way
10/100 switch, then you should be able to simply remove the hub and plug the
cables into the switch ports. Everything should work. OK, some parts (or all of
the network) may be working at only 10 Mb/s but this is the first stage. If
this doesn't work, even at 10Mb/s - take the router/switch back to the retailer
and demand your money back or a replacment unit as it's not working.

Presuming everything is working, but not at 100Mb/s as you wish, go through all
PCs NICs and set them to to 100 Mb/s FDX, don't have them set to auto. Restart
everything (including the switch) and see how you stand. If you find one device
not communicating, then you need to change it's network cable (I presume you're
using at least Cat5e cabling ??) and if that doesn't work, try changing the
port on the switch it is connected into and last of all the NIC itself.
