Routers are key components of any network, whether at home or in an enterprise environment. They are responsible for connecting multiple networks, such as your local area network (LAN) to the wider internet. Key differences in routers when comparing them to switches include:

Routers are key components of any network, whether at home or in an enterprise environment. They are responsible for connecting multiple networks, such as your local area network (LAN) to the wider internet. Key differences between routers and switches include:

- Routers have different functionality, they make decisions based on IP addresses to determine the best path for data packets. They maintain a routing table and perform network address translation (NAT) to manage multiple devices sharing a single public IP address.

- Routers operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model, providing interconnectivity between different IP subnets.

- Routers often include firewall capabilities, which can filter and control the flow of traffic to enhance network security.
