Nope an RJ45 is the name of the connector plug on each end of a Ethernet cable sorry to say.
And RJ 11 is used connector is used for a phone type socket connection.

A hub or Switch is what he should of said.

Both allow each computer to be connected to a same point, where each Ethernet cable connected to the box can talk to each of the other computers wired up to it by the cables to talk to each other from a central access point.

A switch or hub simply diverts communication via sending data via a hub or switch.
And does it by what we call Ip addressing each computer has its own Ip address for example from
192.168.0.1 to say 192.168.0.8 the end digit relates to what computer to and from data is sent.
