Is your computer a zombie? We can help.

Yes, there is such a thing as a stop light on the internet.  Most people don’t know they exist, much less have the chance to look at the ones not in most homes today.  Actually, none of the services that the internet provides would be available without a router.

Routers play a crucial role in the internet.  They allow for transmission of emails, songs, web pages and  everything else available on the internet.  One thing routers use to decide what goes where is a configuration table.  It uses a process similar to cleaning a house – different things go different places and things have priority over others when you’re putting them away.  You also have to make sure that what you’re putting away doesn’t go to the wrong place and you make sure that whatever you’re putting away makes it to wherever you want to put it.  This is like a router handling a piece of information.  It looks at it, decides where it should go and makes sure it gets there.
