Routers & WiFi Routers

These external devices allow for several computers (PC or MAC) to connect to each other via cables or wirelessly and they distribute the data to the right computer, usually in larger networks.

They also allow access to the internet and all computers connected to the router can gain access to the internet through it if they are allowed by the Network Administrator.

These devices usually include built in security features (depending on which model you choose), monitor and restrict access as appropriate and can include a firewall which prevents your computer sending and receiving data from unauthorised programs, web sites or emails.
