How does a router work?

Answer 1

A wireless router is used to connect a computer, or network, to another computer or network. It works either through a broadband cable or a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) internet connection. It uses radio waves to broadcast signals, and also to collect them. The wireless router's main function is to decipher the radio waves and translate them into terms that we can understand. It helps us to relay information from one place to another, or multiple places.

Answer 2

A router is a piece of equipment that takes internet information from the cable or telephone lines and routes it to your computer in a way that allows your computer to correctly read the information. A router can be used for direct or wireless connections.

Answer 3

A router is a piece of hardware or a software which transfers a data packet over network to other machine.In static routing we define the paths in the routing table which a router follows and send packets at that paths.But in dynamic routing each router shares its attached networks information to the other routers and in this ways all the routers communicate with each other and pass data packets to the specific destination.

Answer 4

A router is a device which assigns an IP address to the computers, devices or consoles.
