    1. A router is a networking device that connects multiple networks and devices, allowing data packets to be forwarded between networks using the shortest route based on the packet's destination address. Routers provide internet access to connected devices and link computers to the internet through a modem. 2. A repeater is a device that amplifies and regenerates signals to allow them to travel longer distances over a network without degradation. It receives and retransmits signals at their original strength. 3. A gateway connects dissimilar networks, functioning as a portal or messenger to interpret and transfer data between different systems and network layers, such as connecting a local network to the internet.

    Network Devices: Repeater, Router, Gateway

    Router. A router is a special purpose device (hardware) that handles the connection between two or more networks either through
    Ethernet cables (wired) or a wireless connection.
    A router is a network device that serves two primary functions:
    1. It connects multiple computers, phones, tablets, or other devices to form a managed local area network, and
    2. It provides Internet access to all of the compatible devices that are connected to the router.
    A router links the computers to the Internet from modem. This is known as a home network. Router

    is mainly a Network Layer device. It routes data packets based


    on their Internet Protocol addresses and assumes that all of the
    attached devices on the networks use the same communication
    architecture and protocols.

    A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs (Wide Area Networks) or a LAN and its
    ISPs (Internet Service Provider’s) network.
    You know that a modem is the device that communicates with your Internet Service Provider over the telephone or
    cable line. So, the difference is that a modem is used to connect to the internet, and a router is used to deliver the
    internet information to wired and wireless devices.
    Nowadays, many modems include a built-in router functions as well as modem functions. For example, Devices that
    connect to your router are the computers, tablets, smartphones, DVRs, game systems, etc.
    1. A device that forwards data packets from one network to
    another by finding the shortest route, based on an internal
    routing table and the address of the destination network in the
    incoming packet, the router determines whether to send the
    packet out or keep it within the network.

    On internet, it is not necessary that all the packets will follow the same path from source to destination. A special machine called
    router tries to load balance between various paths that exist on networks. Routers can attach physically different networks.

    1. A Repeater is a device that is used to amplify and regenerate a signal which is on its way through a communication channel. A repeater
    regenerates the received signal and re-transmits it to its destination.

    Repeater: As signals travel along a network cable (or any other medium of transmission), they degrade
    and become distorted in a process that is called attenuation. A device called repeater is used to
    strengthen, regenerate data and voice signals to travel longer distances over a network.The main function
    is to receive a network signal from one LAN terminal cable segment and to regenerate and retransmit the
    signal as it is in its original strength over one or more other cable segment.

    Repeater is used to regenerate data and voice signals when they become weaker before reaching destination
    node. Repeater reads the incoming packet and amplifies it and transmits it to another segment of the network.
    A gateway is a device that connects dissimilar networks .

    Gateway. A gateway device connects or links the LAN with the


    internet. The gateway works like a portal among two programs
    by means of communications between protocol and permit them
    to share data on same computers or among different computers
    and even in different networking models. They basically work
    as the messenger agents that take data from one system, interpret it, and transfer it to another
    system. Gateways are also called protocol converters and can
    operate at any network layer. Gateways are generally more
    complex than switch or router. If you are using DSL connection
    (with telephone line) then you must need a DSL modem in your
    network. The DSL modem acts like a gateway to provide
    wireless network. The gateway also gives us entry into different
    networks so we can send email, look at Web pages, buy things
    online, and more.

    Gateway is a special machine, which allows different electronic networks to talk to Internet that uses
    TCP/IP.
