I have a Netopia R9100 router with Roadrunner cable. The hub built into the
Netopia is a 10BaseT which works fine for internet access but I uplinked the
router to a Netgear 100BaseTX switch. This gives REALLY good speeds across the 5
user network I have for file transfers and printing. All machine can play online
games on different  internet servers at once. If the server is fast the game is
fast. If the server is laggy then the game will be too. A router with a fat pipe
is livin large.
