*Router is Layer-3 physical device, which is used to connect
multiple computers between two or more networks or subnets.
*Routers are used to connect computers between LAN and WAN.
*Switch is Layer-2 hard ware device, which is used to
connect multiple computers in LAN.
*Switches work only in LAN, we can not use in WAN, Where
routers do.
