A router refers to a computer networking device which connects different types of computer networks and forwards data packets between them. The device is responsible for directing data from one network to another by finding out the best route as per rules or protocols (IP routing) . Routers connects LANs to the internet or other WANs. Routers uses NAT (network address translation) for data packet transfer, as well as provide with firewalls, rules for data transfer.
Certification in Routers certifies your skills and knowledge in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting routers in a computer network for a company. This certification assess you in managing and securing router, optimize network performance, and networking protocols.
