Go to your router's config page, and google all the words/acronyms you don't know. Read the Wikipedia pages too. That should put you in a position where you can ask better questions.
Router is a generic term for something that takes wired Ethernet and performs NAT and creates a wifi network( something an access point aka AP does). The NAT here is handled by a different device(the by the 'VM', which is a program that runs an entire OS by simulating a computer) and the AP here is multiple UniFi devices[1].
I would say get familiar with googling technical terms, because there won't always be someone willing to answer questions
