What is a router?
Routers are the Layer 3 device that forwards packets between networks. Each network has a router. The router goes in-between the modem and the rest of the devices on the network. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a router as “a device that mediates the transmission routes of data packets over an electronic communications network (such as the Internet). A router inspects a given data packet’s destination IP address, calculates the best way for it to reach its destination and then forwards it accordingly.
The router creates a network between the computers in a home or office, while a modem connects that network – and thus the computers on it – to the Internet. When connected to Wi-Fi, you’re really connecting to a router, which forwards traffic between the Internet and the client PC or device.
