What is a Router?

Routers are an important element in connecting computers, laptops, and mobile to the internet. An internet router facilitates a connection across a local network, allow you to share files, tools, and resources within a secure environment.

Router functionality: how does it work?

Routers can route traffic between two or more networks. The Internet is one global network that we usually want to connect from our LAN (Local Area Network). Working in conjunction with a modem, routers take messages from your internet provider and distribute the information across the network. Understanding the workings of your network means having an awareness of how to use a router. When trying to connect to Wi-Fi, what you’re really doing is connecting to an internet router that’s established a local network. Working in conjunction with a modem, routers take messages from your internet provider and distribute the information across the network.

It’s this communication from the network router that allows you to access the internet from a computer, and without it a wireless connection wouldn’t be possible.

What’s the difference between a router and a modem?

Modem and router functionality are different, but the two devices are reliant on each other to establish an internet connection. While your modem receives signals directly from an internet provider, your internet router ‘routes’ these messages and distributes to connected computers, allowing them to access the internet.

Modems are unable to create a local network of devices on their own, and routers cannot access the internet without the help of a modem.
