Introduction to Broadband Router Technology A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers can work on Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 3, which forwards data packets using an IP address and not a MAC address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN. The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers.
Introduction to Local Area Networking A Local Area Network (LAN) is typically an Ethernet-based network that connects several computers together over a small area such as a building or group of buildings. LAN’s can also be connected over large areas. A collection of LANs connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN). There are many types of media that can connect computers together. The most common media is CAT5 cable; UTP or STP twisted pair wire.
