Router

A router is a network device used to connect different networks and route data traffic between them. It functions as a central link between your local network (for example, at home or in the office) and the internet. The router ensures that data finds the right path by managing and distributing IP addresses, allowing multiple devices to share the same internet connection. Modern routers can often also offer features such as Wi-Fi, firewall protection, and parental controls to enhance security and user experience.
