Routers are the devices which handle the connection between networks.
The duty of a router is different from that of repeaters, bridges, and switches as routers provide links between networks while allowing each network to maintain its unique internal characteristics.
A router is different because it connects separate networks and makes forwarding decisions based on IP addresses, while repeaters, bridges, and switches primarily operate within a single network using physical signals or MAC addresses.
