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: -A Router is a device that transfers data from one network to another in an intelligent way. It has the task of forwarding data packets to their destination by the most efficient route. In order to do this, the router has a micro computer inside it.
Detailed explanation-3: -A network switch connects devices within a network (often a local area network, or LAN*) and forwards data packets to and from those devices.
Detailed explanation-4: -A wireless router connects directly to a modem by a cable. This allows it to receive information from-and transmit information to-the internet. The router then creates and communicates with your home Wi-Fi network using built-in antennas. This provides all the devices on your home network with internet access.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol that describes how to route messages from one computer to another computer on the network. Each message is split up into packets, and the packets hop from router to router on the way to their destination.
