When a router receives a broadcast, it typically does not forward it to other networks, as routers are designed to separate broadcast domains. Instead, the router will usually drop the broadcast packet and may send an internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message back to the sender if appropriate. This behavior helps to reduce unnecessary traffic and maintain network efficiency. In contrast, switches and hubs will forward broadcast packets to all devices within the same local network segment.
It will not forward the frame to another network
SwitchDescription: Network Switch a device that seperates the Broadcast domain of a LAN segment from other segments.
Since a router does not forward broadcast messages it automatically splits up the broadcast domains for all clients connected to them.

It depends on the router. Usually it will say the range on the box the router came in.
A broadcast domain is created any time you connect several clients together via a network connectivity device, such as a hub or switch or bridge. They would all be in the same broadcast domain for every client connected to them. Since a router does not forward broadcast messages, it creates different broadcast domains.
By default, the broadcasts will not pass to the other side of a router. Thus, the router divides the giant broadcast domain into several smaller ones.By default, the broadcasts will not pass to the other side of a router.

A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
Hardware: The Radio Receiver In the world of telecommunications, a broadcast receiver is an electronic device (commonly just called a "radio") designed to receive electromagnetic waves from a transmitter and convert them into sound or video. How it works: An antenna picks up thousands of radio signals. The receiver uses a tuner to select a specific frequency, a demodulator to extract the information (like a DJ's voice), and an amplifier to make it loud enough for speakers. Examples: Your car radio (AM/FM), a Television, or a Satellite radio unit. Software: The Android Component In computer science, specifically Android Development, a Broadcast Receiver is a background component that allows an app to listen for and respond to system-wide events. How it works: It acts like a "gateway" or a listener. It stays dormant until a specific "broadcast intent" is sent by the Android system or another app. When the event occurs, the receiver wakes up and executes a short task. Common Events it listens for: Battery Low: The app can save data before the phone dies. Connectivity Change: The app detects when you switch from Wi-Fi to Data. Boot Completed: An app (like an alarm clock) starts its service as soon as the phone turns on. Airplane Mode: Detecting when the user goes offline.
