Had many in the past, both personally and professionally, and they are not as good as other. D-link tends to be cheaper AND more reliable overall).

I like D-Link as well, though I have no reason to dislike Linksys either, I love my Linksys router.

It is a flatfile. And though multiple computers were effected, not all computers were. But anyways, the issue is solved but you may have missed the post -- it was indeed the hub. Replaced it with another basic hub and all was back to normal.
Thanks again for the help guys, even when I was in doubt I did try everything mentioned up until I replaced the hub.
