A '''router''' is a [[computer]] device which aggregates the [[network]] needs of many computers, and distributes [[bandwidth]] from a central [[broadband]] connection.
A '''router''' is a [[computer]] device which aggregates the [[network]] needs of many computers, and distributes [[bandwidth]] from a central [[broadband]] connection. They are classified as layer-three devices on the [[OSI model]].
A router works by having a unique address on each port and a map of the network in an internal table. The router reads a packet from an incoming port, looks it up in the table, and sends it out the appropriate port.

There are a number of protocols for managing the network address tables of the routers.
