That isn't very accurate. But so are the many definitions and analogies given in this thread. However, there is in fact a piece of hardware that acts like what you have described perfectly ... it's called a bridge. A router however, to put it simply ... routes.

To the topic starter, if you were actually serious about learning, you'd use the internet which contains a wealth of information about pretty much anything. I'd begin with www.wikipedia.org ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router

ok bro, sa ako lang nahinumduman...
it is the device to properly deliver the packets to the desired network destinations. it works at layer 3 of the OSI model. it maintains the whole topology of the network and inform other routers in the network if 1 router is down. it can block specific traffics, entire ip block or a specific host.
