BT Broadband: Can I do this?

My Broadband router is connected via Ethernet to my Desktop PC at home.

I'd now like to add my laptop and make a small home network, cabled, not wireless.

Can I connect the BT router to a small 4 port ethernet hub and connect also the Desktop and Laptop to the same same Hub and thus have internet access from both?

I'm open to other easy suggestions if this is a no go.

Many thanks
