Routers

All Routers | All Brands | New & Refurbished

Network routers are devices that connect different networks together and direct data between them, typically between a local network (LAN) and the internet. Operating primarily at Layer 3 of the OSI model (Network Layer), routers use IP addresses to determine the best path for forwarding data packets. They manage traffic between networks, assign local IP addresses, and often include features like firewalls, NAT (Network Address Translation), and VPN support. Routers are essential for enabling communication between separate networks and for providing secure, efficient access to external networks like the internet.
