You have a problem (unless you have your terms mixed up).
You state that you have an ADSL modem and a "Network Hub". I'll
assume that your DSL ISP provides you with 2 IP addresses, one for
each computer. However, I'll also guess(tm) that your don't really
have a "network hub" and that it's really an ethernet router. That
could easily be confirmed by looking at the bottom of the unit. You'll
probably find a label with a manufacturers name and model number.
Kindly disclose this information along with the maker and model number
of your ADSL modem, so that your question can be answered with a
minimum of guesswork.

If, by chance, it really is an ethernet router and not a "network
hub", then all you need to do is setup your access point according to
the supplied instruction, being very careful not to duplicate the IP
address of any of the existing devices, configure the wireless,
connect a CAT5 cable between the DWL-G700AP and your ethernet router,
and it's ready to go. However, before attacking the wireless, I
suggest you test and setup your new laptop with a CAT5 ethernet cable,
and leave the wireless setup until it's working and updated.
