SPMUG 610   Difference  between a hub and a router ÊQ: What is the
differenceÊ between a hub and a router?
A: A hub connects devices onÊ the same network, while a routerÊ connects
two networks together.Ê For example, an Ethernet orÊ AirPort hub (i.e.,
a Base Station)Ê connects Macs on your homeÊ network.
A router, on the otherÊ hand, connects your home networkÊ to your ISP's
network, and thereforeÊ to the Internet.Ê Some devices (like the
AirPortÊ Base Station) are both routers andÊ hubs.
