Router
A special-purpose computer (or software package) that handles the connection between 2 or more networks. Routers spend all their time looking at the destination addresses of the packets passing through them and deciding which route to send them on.

ROUTER
A router connects networks together,controlling the routing of packets from source to destination and providing alternate paths when necessary.Typically a router hands off packets to another router along the path until the destination is reached.

Router
A hardware device that routes (hence the name) data from a local area network (LAN) to phone lines or another connection. Routers act like a coin sorting machine, allowing only authorized machines to send data through a LAN so that private information can remain secure. Well, at least it's sort of like a coin machine... Routers also handle errors and keep statistics about what's going on in the network.

router
In data communications, a functional unit used to interconnect two or more networks. Note 1: Routers operate at the network layer (layer 3) of the ISO Open Systems Interconnection--Reference Model. Note 2: The router reads the network layer address of all packets transmitted by a network, and forwards only those addressed to another network.

Router
A special purpose computer that attaches to two or more networks and routes packets from one network to the other. A router uses network layer addresses (such as IP Addresses) to determine if packets should be sent from one network to another. Routers send packets to other routers until they arrive at their final destination.

Router
A router is a device that extracts the destination of a packet it receives, selects the best path to that destination, and forwards data packets to the next device along this path. They connect networks together; a LAN to a WAN for example, to access the Internet. Some units, like the Cisco 1800 (pictured), are available in both wired and wireless models.
