Differentiate broadband router and ethernet switch?..

Answer / Ram Kumar Singh

A broadband router is a device that connects multiple devices to a broadband internet connection, such as DSL or cable. It also functions as a switch, allowing connected devices to communicate with each other within the local network. An Ethernet switch is a dedicated networking device designed only for connecting devices within the same local network segment and forwarding data between them. A broadband router typically includes additional features like NAT (Network Address Translation), Wi-Fi access point, and firewall.
