Thus, each device can be identified and managed individually. For instance, it is responsible for assigning IP addresses to incoming connection requests, typically through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). To achieve this, devices are connected to the router either through a network cable like ethernet or over a wireless connection like WiFi, As a result, local devices not only gain access to the Internet but can also communicate with each other through the router – hence the term “Local Network”.Ī router is very much the “administrator” of this local network and plays an important role in managing connected devices.
A router’s purpose is to serve as the bridge between the two networks, which is done by forwarding data packets that need to be transmitted “across borders”.
