Detailed explanation-1: -Routers are intelligent devices, and they store information about the networks they’re connected to. Most routers can be configured to operate as packet-filtering firewalls and use access control lists (ACLs).
Detailed explanation-2: -Hardware Firewalls A hardware firewall (or an appliance firewall) is a separate piece of hardware that filters traffic entering and coming out of a network. Unlike a software firewall, these self-contained devices have their own resources and do not consume any CPU or RAM from host devices.
