What is Router?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the 'traffic directing' functions on the Internet. Data sent through the internet, such as a web page or email, is in the form of data packets. A router decides which way to send each packet based on its destination IP address. Routers connect networks, forwarding data between them, while switches connect devices within a single network.
