Welcome to the official thread on Bridges & Routers – two essential devices that keep your networks connected and running smoothly!

Whether you're a beginner or an IT pro, understanding the role of Bridges & Routers is key to building reliable networks. In this thread, we’ll explore the differences between them, their functions, and when to use each.

Bridges work at the data link layer and are used to divide a network into segments, reducing traffic and improving performance within local networks.

Routers, on the other hand, operate at the network layer and are responsible for connecting different networks together, including routing data from your home or office network to the internet.
