Router

A router is a crucial device in networking that connects multiple networks and directs data traffic between them. It serves as the central point of communication, forwarding data packets between local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), such as the internet. Routers ensure that data reaches the correct destination, using routing tables and protocols to determine the most efficient path for each data packet. In addition to routing data, modern routers often come with advanced features such as wireless connectivity, network security (like firewalls), and Quality of Service (QoS) management to prioritize traffic. Routers are essential for creating and maintaining a stable, high-speed network, whether for small businesses, large enterprises, or home use, enabling seamless communication and internet access.
