I read on Ask Leo that a wireless access point is essentially a hub. Does that mean in my home network my wireless router (which according to the article is really a router AND wireless access point) will distribute the response to my request to everyone on the network? Will the same thing happen in a coffee shop?
Here's another Ask Leo explaining deifference between hub, router, and switch: https://askleo.com/whats_the_difference_between_a_hub_a_switch_and_a_router/
