Router is diferent from filter, using filter we can test the incoming data by one condition by Router we can test incoming data with several conditions.And also we can not get the Data which is not satisfing filter condition if we use filter  but by using router we can get it in defalt group.

The best thing of using router transformation over filter transformation  is that we can get the rejected records if needed.

A Router transformation tests data for one or more conditions and gives you the option to route rows of data that do not meet any of the conditions to a default output group. Thus the added advantage over filter transformation is that we can also route rejected records as per requirement.

Router transformation allows to test more than one condition and based on condition you can route the data into different targets or target instances.

Router is an Active and Connected transformation. It is similar to filter transformation. But in filter transformation eliminate the data that do not meet the condition whereas router has an option to capture the data that do not meet the condition. It is useful to test multiple conditions. It has input, output and default groups. For example, if we want to filter data like where deptno=10, deptno=20, deptno=30 and all other deptno's. It?s easy to route data to different tables.

It is an extension to filter transformation.It is used to rout the data to different destination according to the condition.It has one i/p group of ports & multiple groups of o/p ports.It is an active transformation.

A Router transformation is similar to a Filter transformation because both transformations allow you to use a condition to test data. A Filter transformation tests data for one condition and drops the rows of data that do not meet the condition. However, a Router transformation tests data for one or more conditions and gives you the option to route rows of data that do not meet any of the conditions to a default output group.

Both Transformation Filter and Router used to test condition, but a Router can test multiple conditions.  If same source is to be test for multiple conditions then go for Router rather than using seperate Filters and read source data again and again.

Router Transformation is same as that of Filter Transformation.The only difference is that we can specify only one condion for filter but for Router we can specify many condition and one more thing the data which are not satisfying the filter conditions are stored in Default port of Router transformation.

Router Transfermation is used to test the same in put rows based on multiple conditions and if we want to load multiple targets, then we go for Router Transformation

Router transformation can be said as an extension of filter transformation. Filter allows you to check for a single condition and rejects rows which does not meet the condition.
But Router transformation allows you to specify more than one condition and forward rows to target,
If it atleast meets any of the specified conditions.
Router has an additional option (default) for forwarding rejected rows to another target table.
