Most wireless kit can handle several connections from different PCs, but you do need to know the settings for encryption (designed to stop illicit use, so a good idea).
You need to know the wireless 'beacon' name (SSID) in case you have neighbours with their own wireless kit on, and the encryption key (and whether it uses WEP or WPA)
SSID and encryption is to block a neighbour from using your connection and getting you in trouble (eg downloading porn, sending 'hate' e-mails, terrorism or sharing movies/music)

A hub? or a router? A hub is just a dummy for extending a network, so i assume it's a router. You just need to activate the router software and set it up with a network name. When the new pc finds the network name (should pick it up through wireless card automatically), you select it and are connected! Ideally, you should add an encryption (WEP) key to your network too to prevent others from getting into it. Again, the wireless router software should allow you to do this.

A hub is crap. Get one of those wireless routers with a built in switch.
