Try pressing the button, and setting it to normal. That should solve the problem.

No crossover but one of the post is labeled Link with a button next to it normal/uplink.  It's set to uplink. And that port is the one connected to the router.

If it's an old hub, the ports are probably not "auto-configuring".   You may
need a "cross-over
cable" to connect the hub to the router (unless on of the ports on it is marked as a cross- over port - in which case, use that one to connect to the router)..
