It routes things... lol If you have a cable internet connection for instance, the cable company gives you a cable modem that connects to the cable jack in the wall. To split this signal amongst multiple computers you need a router. The router plugs right into the modem and the computers plug into the router. The router then will devide the internet signal between the computers.
