Explanation

Routers operate at Layer 3 (Network layer) and use routing tables along with policies - such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and routing protocols - to determine how to forward traffic between networks. Switches forward frames based on MAC address tables (Layer 2), access points provide wireless connectivity, and bridges connect network segments at Layer 2 without policy-based routing.
