Router

TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Tenda, Zyxel, D-Link routers

A router is a device designed to receive, analyze, and forward data packets to other networks. Unlike a  switch , which only transmits data between computers or other devices on a network, a router analyzes data transmitted from one network, converts it, and sends it to another network. Typically, a router is often used in a secure, local area network to distribute a single Internet connection to multiple computers.
