🛡 Comparison between Router, Modem and Switch 📶 ..
1️⃣ Router :
🟢 It directs the traffic of data packets between different networks.
🟢 It is typically used to connect a local area network (LAN) to another network or networks such as the Internet.
🟢 It has the ability to analyze data traffic and make decisions about how to route it.
🟢 It operates at the network level (Layer 3) of the OSI model.
🟢 It can also distribute IP addresses and manage security and protection on the network.
2️⃣ Modem :
🟢 It converts digital signals into analog signals and vice versa.
🟢 Used to connect devices to the Internet via telephone lines, cable, or satellite.
🟢 It is used to connect a computer to the Internet by providing a network connection.
🟢 It is essential in connecting devices to the Internet.
3️⃣ Switch :
🟢 It connects devices in a local area network (LAN) and exchanges data traffic between these devices.
🟢 It is used to route data traffic at the local area network (LAN) level.
🟢 It operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model.
🟢 It helps in dividing the network into small groups called VLANs.
🟢 It does not have the ability to direct data traffic between networks like a router.
