Can someone explain me the difference between those three devices?

Simplifying a lot
Hub: sends data everywhere… It’s like junction in water pipe
Switch: actually reads part of data and sends only to those it is addressed to.
Router: can work as a switch, but actually separates different networks. It can connect your local network (house) to internet (wan) … It can do much more, but this is just basics… Usually comes with wifi capability, but it isn’t necessary
Router and switch are commonly used in tree topology of network (most common one)
