Routers operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model because their primary function is to determine the best path for data packets to travel from the source to the destination across multiple networks. This layer handles logical addressing (such as IP addresses), allowing routers to make forwarding decisions based on the destination address. By operating at this layer, routers can facilitate inter-network communication and manage traffic effectively, ensuring data is routed efficiently between different networks.
Router works in Network Layer of OSI model
Assuming you are using the OSI Modem a router sits on Layer 3: Network
A router must implement the Physical layer, the Link layer, and the Network layer
Router is a Layer 3 (Network Layer)device that checks packet's IP Address at input interface & routes them to interface connected to destination network if available.
We know that a router is a layer 3 device means Network Layer. Router is a only device that can forward only uni cast massage. If u configure the router well and connect the two separate network, i think the network will go finely.
Perhaps you mean a router?
Network Layer - Does path determination and logical addressing.
The network address
A router
routable
Physical layer = Hub, NIC, Repeater. Data Link Layer = Switch, Bridge. Network Layer = Router.
ROUTER!
