Router

In simple layman terms, a router is a device that determines the proper path for DATA to travel between different networks. They connect networks together, a LAN to a WAN for example, to access the Internet. A more precise definition of a router is a computer networking device that interconnects separate logical subnets. A modern router is effectively a small network computer with an operating system, ram, nvram, flash memory and a small processor which does all of the work in a router.

Routers connect to two or more logical subnets, which do not necessarily map one-to-one to the physical interface of the router. To understand the role of a router, understand that it does not, in a network of any real complexity, take you directly to the destination. Instead, your information will pass through a series of routers and intermediate subnets, each getting you one "hop" closer to the destination, until you reach the router that connects to the subnet that contains your final destination.
