☑️ Hubs, a switch, and routers are computer networking devices with varying differences. Unfortunately, the terms are often misused.

☑️ Hubs, switches, and routers
Hubs are “dumb” devices that pass on anything received on one connection to all other connections.
Switches are semi-intelligent devices that learn which devices are on which connection.
Routers are essentially small computers that perform a variety of intelligent tasks.
Wireless routers and access points are devices that add Wi-Fi support to your network.
