Although hubs and switches both glue the PCs in a network together,
a switch is more expensive and a network built with switches is generally
considered faster than one built with hubs.

Also consider that some routers have SWITCH implementations while others only
act as a NAT enabled hub.

So, what's the diff? -- see this article.
 
Hubs broadcast network traffic to all computers on the network, switches direct traffic just to its destination
