What is a Router in Networking?
A Router is a networking device that connects two or more sub-networks or packet-switched networks. Most routers pass data traffic between LANs and WANs with the help of IP routing protocols.
A router is more capable than other network devices such as a hub or a switch. It analyses data sent over a network, determines its path and changes how it is packaged to send it over to a different network. Routers are most commonly used in home networking to connect multiple computers using a shared internet connection.
