Detailed explanation-1: -A router is a device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or subnetworks. It serves two primary functions: managing traffic between these networks by forwarding data packets to their intended IP addresses, and allowing multiple devices to use the same Internet connection.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among computer networks, a router is a networking device that forwards data packets. Packet switching, packet filtering, network communication, and path selection are all services offered by routers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ethernet cable connects your computer and router so they can directly communicate with each other. All you have to do is connect the ethernet cable to the right ports on your computer and router.
Detailed explanation-4: -Layer 3 is the network layer. This is where we send information between and across networks through the use of routers. Instead of just node-to-node communication, we can now do network-to-network communication. Routers are the workhorse of Layer 3-we couldn’t have Layer 3 without them.
