I'm pretty sure that a home router is not going to have an uplink. (as I say never having seen it) but yes you should be ok if you turn off the DHCP and use one of the 4 data ports.  (this is in essence using it like a swittch) or you can get a cheap 5 port switch for ~$20. Stay away from hubs...

If you have a computer recycling center you can gett good deals on switches there.
(or just use the router)  :)

Linksys calls it uplink, its just one of the ports duped as a crossover.
