Definition: Routers are physical devices that join multiple
wired or wireless networks together. Technically, a wired
or wireless router is a Layer 3 gateway, meaning that the
wired/wireless router connects networks (as gateways do),
and that the router operates at the network layer of the
OSI model.
Home networkers often use an Internet Protocol (IP) wired
or wireless router, IP being the most common OSI network
layer protocol. An IP router such as a DSL or cable modem

Difference between router and switch
In those early days when router is router and switch is switch, these two are different in several ways:
• Router understand IP head, and switch deal with MAC address
• Router has its own IP address(es), and switch don’t
• Router has an operating system running inside, and allow administrator to login into the system.
• You (network administrator) must configure routing table to make it works.
• Switch is usually ready to use.
• Router has routing software running inside, including route discovery protocol.
• Routing software know how to deal with different IP packet, such as ICMP and other IP option functionality. Switches don’t.
• Multiple routers can be connected together as a network.
• You can’t directly multiple switches together to form a large network.
