Routers are network devices

Router

Routers are network devices that are used to divide the protocol to the other network members, with the router then a protocol can be shared to other network devices. Examples of its application is that if we want to divide your IP address to members of the network then we can use this router, the router features is the facility DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Procotol), by setting up DHCP, then we can divide the IP Address, other facilities of the Router is the NAT (Network Address Translator) that can allow an IP address or an internet connection be shared to other IP addresses.

for example if on a network device (computer) has the IP address 192.168.0.1, then the other computers to communicate, must be given an IP Address with the Network Identification with the Host Identification 192.168.0 and 2-254, for example 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11 and onwards.

Problems will arise when the network device that is connected very much (usually in the top 20 devices), an administrator will be forced to get around to setting up IP addresses for each host, therefore we can use the Router.

Router Types

1. Application Router

2. Router Hardware

3. PC Router


Router application is an application that we can install the operating system pad, so that the operating system will have capabilities such as routers, examples of this application is Winroute, WinGate, SpyGate, WinProxy and others.

Hardware is a hardware router that has the ability sepertiu router, so the hardware can be transmitting or sharing IP addresses and to sharing the IP Address, in practice this hardware router used to share Internet connection on a space or area, an example of this is the access router point, the region can get Ip Address and Internet connection is called the Hot Spot Area.

Router is a PC operating system that has the facility to divide and mensharing IP Address, so if a network device (pc) connected to a computer will be able to enjoy an IP Address or Internet connection that is spread by the Operating System, the example of the operating system that can be used are all client server-based operating systems, such as Windows NT, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, MikroTik (Linux Based), etc.
