Explanation

A router is a multi-function device capable of supporting multiple networking transmission methodologies - it can route between different network types (LAN, WAN, wireless), perform NAT, support VPNs, and often integrates firewall and DHCP capabilities. A switch operates only at Layer 2 (data link), a hub operates at Layer 1 (physical), and a bridge connects two similar network segments at Layer 2. Only the router can handle diverse transmission methods in one device.
