A router is used to connect multiple networks together using sophisticated routing tables, which can determine the best route to get information or data packets from one network to another. The most common types of routers are meant for home users and simply send router information such as web pages, email, and other data from the owner’s modem (which connects to the Internet) to the owner’s computer system.
In this CompTIA Network+ Training video, I’ll go over some of the basics about routers including how they work and what they do. While I’ll briefly explain some of the more advanced functions and features of this network device such as OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model layers, I’ll save most of the more advanced router functions for a later video.
