Information on Routers:
Routers are devices that forward data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP’s network.
Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect. Routers use headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for forwarding the packets, and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts. Very little filtering of data is done through routers.
Most networks require certain types of routers with a vast degree of desired specifications. One of our friendly IT professionals will be more than happy to help you figure out which router will best fit your needs. |
