All of a sudden tonight, multiple PCs that are wired straight to the router wont connect to the internet. Wireless is working fine, but multiple wired connections failed tonight. I tried moving them around, tried putting one in the connected hub, still nothing. I have the latest firmware installed. What else could be the problem?
"failed" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
What does a computer have to say about its Ethernet interface?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

I'll bite. What's your "the connected hub"? What, exactly, is connected to what, exactly?
> [...] I have the latest firmware installed. [...]
As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your opinion of what's "the latest" today.
> [...] What else could be the problem?
Many things, including bad hardware, are possible, but, with a problem description as detailed as "doesn't work", it's tough to offer much specific advice.
By failed I mean two computers at the same time, both wired connections to the router, say connected but no Internet. Wireless is working fine and other connected devices are working as well. I can update this by saying hours later last night, both wired internet connections came back.
