QUESTION 6 OF 30

How would you explain what a router is, to someone with no knowledge of the internet?

The interviewer is checking for basic knowledge of how the internet works, and how they deliver it to their customers. Before your interview, be sure to understand the basics of internet-related tech such as routers, modems, and wireless access points. Give a brief description of how you would explain a router to someone with no internet knowledge.

"Whenever I explain a concept to a customer, I pretend that I am talking to my grandmother who truly has no idea what the internet is! If I needed to explain what a router is, I would say that a router is a small box that helps the internet to connect to multiple computers in your home at one time. Routers also allow information exchange from your internet provider to a laptop or wireless computing device."
