What "hub" are we talking about here?
Is the "my nighthawk" the MR1100 or something else?

Where do you see that?
It’s MR1100.. I wanted to use Ethernet port to link to my linksys router so I can get my internet rolling back again in my home. I also have a hub (10 port switch) in my network.. I just keep getting the red circle on my nighthawk saying ip config issue...any idea on what I need to do to resolve ?! Thanks ..
If the MR1100 is working as a router, you can't easily connect it to another router. The two will fight one another to control the local network.
You could investigate two options: put the MR1100 is "router only" mode so that the linksys router can handle the network; turn the linksys router into an access point leaving the MR1100 in charge of the network.
I am not familiar with this device, but the manual talks about Pass-Through Mode. Maybe this is what you want.
There is a manual for the MR1100 somewhere at the end of this link:

That, or disable DHCP.
