Types of Routers

Types of routers
Virtual Router:
Virtual routers provide Computer sharing network by default. Virtual routers

provide multitenant network services for private, public, as well as provider-
hosted clouds. It works as per the redundancy protocol for the virtual router
(VRRP), it becomes active when the main or primary router is disabled. It takes a
group of multiple routers to share a virtual IP address. In this, each group has a
master that handles IP packets. If packets from the master fail to forward, then
other routers take a position. Virtual routers help to Increase productivity by
providing visibility, real-time analytics, and optimization control on cloud and
other devices. There are many best virtual routers available that provide strong
encryption methods, Highly secure authentication, as well as segmentation to
secure data, and applications from the WAN edge to the cloud.
Edge Routers:
It seats at the edge of the backbone of the network and can connect to the core
routers. It can be wired or wireless and will distribute internet data packets
between one or more networks. But it will not distribute internet data packets
within networks
Subscriber Edge Routers:
This type of router belongs to an end user (enterprise) organization. It’s

configured to broadcast external BGP to its provider’s AS(s)
Inter-provider Border Routers:

This type of router is for Interconnecting ISPs. This is a BGP speaking router that
maintains BGP sessions with other BGP speaking routers in other providers' ASes.
Core Router:
A core router is a computer communication device and a backbone of the

network, which means it links all network devices. It allows for fast data
communication. It is a wired or wireless router that distributes data packets within
a network but does not distribute data packets within multiple networks.
Wireless Routers:
It is present in office, home or railway station, etc. It creates a wireless signal.

Suppose you are in office, we can connect to the internet using wireless signals
because your laptop is within the range. We can provide security to routers by
entering user id and password. When we try to connect to the router, it will ask
for a password and User Id. User Id and password comes along with the device.
Due to security, no information about the user is harmed. When we visit public
places, we can observe that on our phone Wi-Fi window will prop up to use the
internet and you can observe that it is secure with a password. Wireless routers
are publicly available. N number of users can connect to it. A wireless router is
also known as a WLAN (wireless local area network) device. This wireless Network
established is termed a Wi-Fi network. Wireless routers are used in homes. that
Internet service providers (ISP) use routers to connect to xDSL or network Internet
cable. Wi-Fi router integrates a wireless access point’s networking functions with a
router. A router connects the local networks to other Internet or local networks. It
converts the data packets which is written in a series of 1s and 0s of binary code
or into radio signals, then the antennae broadcast signals. Wirelessly. A wireless
access point links computers wirelessly to the network using radio frequencies
which creates wireless signals in the frequency bands 900 MHz and 2,4, 3,6, 5, and
60 G…
Broadband Routers:
Broadband routers are built for ease of installing home networks, especially for
households with high-speed Internet service. In addition to allowing all consumer
appliances devices to share an internet connection, broadband routers often allow
data, printers as well as other electronic devices to be shared between home
computers and other devices.broadband router also provides a connection to the
internet. There is a special type of modems such as ADSL which can connect to
Ethernet and phone jacks. This router uses stateful packet inspection (SPI)
firewalls and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). for security, and
provides communication between computers within a network.
Wired Router:
Name itself defines its meaning. Wire is available to connect to the network. If we
visit a bank or small college or office, we can observe that PC or Laptop is
connected to the internet using Ethernet cable and that is the wired router. It has
a separate Wi-Fi access point. If a user wants to connect to the phone, then they
can use VIOP (voice-over IP technology). There is an ADSL (modem) that has two
jacks to connect to ethernet and mobile phones.
