A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute an internetwork until it reaches its destination node.


You can also say that a router is a communication processor that interconnects networks based on different rules or protocols, so that a telecommunication message can be routed to its destination.
