Router

 
Up to Glossary

A router is a networking hardware component that controls the flow of data from one network (usually an external connection to the Internet) to another network (usually an internal local area network, or LAN). Routers are typically plugged into an external network using a cable, and then the internal network can be wired, wireless, or both.
