Explanation

A router is the core device that connects a local network (LAN) to an external network such as the internet (WAN). In a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment, a router manages traffic routing, NAT (Network Address Translation), and often includes a built-in firewall. A hub (A) only broadcasts traffic within a LAN with no routing capability. An Ethernet gateway (B) can route but is less specifically associated with SOHO internet connectivity. A wireless access point (C) provides Wi-Fi connectivity but requires a router behind it to reach the internet.
