Device for directing network traffic
A machine that sends information between computers or networks so they can talk to each other.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] installs/uses/configures a router
Erro comum:
Learners often confuse 'router' with 'modem'. A modem connects to the internet, while a router directs data between devices or networks.
Sinônimos
gateway (Often used in networking to mean a device that connects different networks, though it may have broader functions than a router.)
|
switch (A related network device, but it connects devices within the same network rather than routing between networks.)
Antônimos
modem (Not a direct opposite, but a different device that connects to the internet; learners often confuse the two.)
