You should buy a switch.
You use ethernet patch cables.

The "uplink" and "LAN side number 1 port" are mutially exclusive: you can use one, or the other, but not both. (note that "useing" and "physically plugging in" are two totally different thing). It's something to do with the software inside (or the hardware inside the box).

You will need to get a new hub, and plug into it whatever is in the BEFSR41 "LAN port 1".

BTW An "Uplink" port is just like a regular port, except the cables on a couple of the pins are reversed.
