D-Link Wifi Router Firmware : WiFI Routers are devices that transfer data packets between two are more computers networks, Every router have an IP address given while manufacturing that router, using this router IP address users can access router web based frame or interference using default D-Link Router login and Password where you can manage router firmware update and passwords and other security settings.
The main purpose and theme of a router is to transfer IP data packets to one computer network to another computer network. A data packet reaches its destination only when packets destination address matches with router IP address. Every router consists of a routing table designed automatically by router or designed manually by user. Once the data packet received by the router, it searches routing table to find best way to send data packets to its destination address.
Router have ability to run more number of protocols at a time.Routes are distinguished on the basis of network, they are Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Local Area Networks will used in same offices and houses and buildings. A router in LAN of single organization is also known as interior network and exterior router transfers data packets between hosts in one LAN and another LAN’s host.
A router that is operated in the Internet backbone is described as exterior router, WiFI Routers are connected to a Local Area Network LAN with the Wide Area Network WAN are called gateway router and border routers. There are so many router companies named as D-Link, TP-Link and etc. In above paragraphs we discussed about what is Router and how router works so, now we will discuss about how Wifi router works.
