Router is a network layer device normaly used to connect different networks. These are two types Software and Hardware routers, Cisco 2500 as example of hardware routers but a system running win2000 or win2003 with 2 nic cards can be made as software routers. Hardware routers are normally connected between networks separated geographically.

Routers maintain a routing table having info about network address, subnet mask, interface and a number field called metric value. After checking ip adddress o f every packet coming it determines the best path and forwards the packet to the other neighbouring router. It works this way.
