A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, performing the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. It routes packets from one network to another by having at least two network cards connected to different networks. Routers allow people to connect multiple devices in their home or office to the Internet through a single Internet connection by providing local IP addresses for connected devices while using the Internet-facing IP address from an ISP.

2. What is a Router??
 A router, is a networking device that
forwards data packets between computer
networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing"
functions on the Internet.
 A data packet is typically forwarded from one
router to another through the networks that
constitute the internet until it reaches its
destination node.

Routing is the process of
forwarding IP packets from
one network to another. A
router is a device that joins
networks together
and routes traffic between
them.
A router will have at least two
network cards (NICs), one
physically connected to one
network and the other physically
connected to another network. A
router can connect any number
of networks together providing it
has a dedicated NIC for each
network.

4. Why do people use Routers??
Every device on the Internet needs a unique IP
address. Your ISP provides you with one, allowing one
device to access the Internet. A router will access the
Internet through that IP address, then provide local IP
addresses--not visible on the Internet--for the PCs and
other devices connected to it. This allows you to
access the Internet from multiple computers through
one connection. Every device on the Internet needs a
