The number of routers in a network depends on some factors like number of hosts in the network,number of networks required e.t.c. but when it comes to the question, the question itself is meaningless bcaz a router is a device which connects two different networks.
for example there r 2 systems namely host A with an ip address of 192.168.1.6 and host B with an ip address of 192.168.2.8
with the above configuration host A cannot communicate with host B bcaz they both belong to 2 separate networks. but if both their networks are connected using a router they both can communicate with each other.

∙ 10y agoThere is not a list of the total number of network routers working in the world because the number can change frequently. Businesses add network routers as needed and home owners add routers for their home networks daily.

How many routers and switches do you need to connect 81 computers?
Depends on how many switches each router takes. You need a router to connect all the other routers, and then enough switches to make 81. For example, you can use 6 16 port routers to connect the computers and 1 8 port router to connect those routers together
What device connects a client computer to a network's medium?
A network card is used for this purpose. Many times, you will see the abbreviation NIC used. NIC stands for Network Interface Card. There are many types of NICs that have been used in the past. For all intents and purposes, the only NIC type in use today is Ethernet cards.
What are routers used for?
A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. 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 internetwork until it gets to its destination node.[1]The most familiar type of routers are home and small office routers that simply pass data, such as web pages and email, between the home computers and the owner's cable or DSL modem, which connects to the Internet (ISP). However more sophisticated routers range from enterprise routers, which connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone.
What is ict tools?
ICT tools refers to the components that are used in information technology systems. Some of them include telephones, modems, routers, computers, switches, network cables and so many more.
What is the largest network of computers?
The largest computer network in use today is the Internet. There are many millions of computers connected at any point in time. No other network in the world can compare to the unimaginably massive size of the Internet.
How can you connect 4 routers to 6 switches?
A network can function fairly easily with just one router, the router is used to access the internet and in small home it is also the network switch that connects all the home computers together. It is not necessary to connect 4 routers together on the same network because each router will try to assign an ip-adress to each of the computers on the network resulting in many conflicts. If you did want to do this type of network (depending on your circumstances, i know of schools that use routers as small network switches for each room) then I suggest that you disable DHCP and all server attributes of the routers. Then you use a star network configuration for the 4 routers that are connected elsewhere, use long Ethernet cables to link the routers to a network switch each; from there have the 2 remaining network switches in the same room and have them in a redundancy layout. Connect the 4 router and switch pairs to the redundancy pair. This network is very inefficient and very costly but you have the capability to join a small office to a larger office four times over in the same network. It is not recommended that you do this.
Where can I buy Linksys wireless routers and are they much better than the rest?
Linksys wireless routers tend to be better than many others. They usually last for many years, however sometimes they stop working. With all electronics, it just depends. You can buy Linksys routers at your local BestBuy, or even online.
Do you need a good Ethernet router to power a good computer?
All routers perform the same action. They allow you to hook up multipule computers, and also giving your network security. Many people debate between which routers work better, and which have more reliability, i would recommend researching online and find some reviews. Routers do not "power" computers. There is a technology called power over ethernet but it's generally used for network attached storage devices or routers rather than "computers."
Do most wireless routers allow you to connect wireless and wired computers to the same network?
Many Wireless routers and switches have few inbuilt switching ports capable of connecting Wired computers to Wireless Computers on the same network to connect wired Computers also alongwith. (Not necessarily every every wireless router will be having switching ports)
Is remote infrastructure monitoring and network monitoring same?
Sort of. Remote infrastructure monitoring would fall under network monitoring. Network monitoring in general focuses on the monitoring of your network infrastructure: things like switches, routers, etc. Remote just means your monitoring it from outside the network, and is a feature available in many solutions.
What types of duties does one working in network support have?
Someone working in network support will have many duties. These will include managing performance, installing internet systems and performing maintenance.
Why do you use router?
to connect multiple computers to the same internet connection, and to network the computers together Routers allow multiple computers to share a single internet connection. This helps save a lot of money. Apart from this, routers also add a safety element to a local network. The individual IP addresses of the computers on the local network are never exposed to the internet. Instead only the external IP address of the router is publicly known. Moreover, many routers come with additional features like firewalls, filters and other security enhancing abilities.
How do you hook up two wireless router on the same network with both routers located in different rooms?
You have to choose which router is the main one. After that you can configure second router to create "bridge" with the main one. It's better if you have both routers of the same manufacture and model. Many routers even so can be configured for "bridge" usually do not work with different models and manufactures.
Where can I find online store that sells wireless routers?
There are many place online that sell good quality network stations for your office. Some of these are: www.newegg.com; www.bestbuy.com, www.netgear.com and www.amazon.com.
What does WNS stands for?
There are so many possible things that WNS stands for. Some of them include World News Service, World Network Service, Wireless Network Strategies and so many more.
Can you take 2 wireless routers and make one of them into a bridge or repeater to pick up signals from the other router far away?
I have a wireless router and a wireless network adapter. I have the wireless network adapter (CAT5 not USB) connected to the WAN port on my router. I set the network adapter to connect to the other wireless network, then I can get internet rebroadcast through my router. I use Airlink 101 router and D-link wireless network adapter DD-WRT provides firmware for many types of routers that allows you to setup a wifi router as a bridge or a repeater. Repeater mode will work better as you do not have to assign a static IP address. By flashing your router with this firmware, your basically multiplying the value of your router by 5. Routers that work best for this: older models of linksys, usually a wrt54gs or a wrt54gl, and also buffalo routers, but good luck finding buffalo routers. For more info, visit http://www.dd-wrt.com.They have their own wiki section and will provide you with PLENTY of information to get this done.
How many pins do Linksys routers have?
Linksys routers are pretty much the same as all the other routers. Linksys routers got 8 PINS. You can find the PIN if you turn the router upside down.
