Network Routers and Switches
Keeping Your Business Connected Through Data Network Solutions
Understanding the Difference Between Wired Network Switches and Routers
Network routers and switches are essential elements of a business network. And while they have a similar appearance, they perform distinctly different functions. Medlin’s managed solutions use switches to connect devices like computers, servers, and wireless access points to your network. This enables them to share information and communicate with each other across your local area network (LAN).
Where network routers and switches differ is what they connect. A router works to connect wired network switches to your business network, creating a larger, more expansive network. Along with connecting networks together, routers allow you to connect multiple computers, printers, and mobile devices. Medlin sets up routers to grant users access to the internet, creating seamless connectivity throughout your enterprise.
