Network Devices

Network devices are physical tools that help different computers or devices in a network
communicate with each other. Devices like hubs, repeaters, bridges, switches, routers, gateways,
and brouters play important roles in managing and directing how data moves across the network.
They make sure data can travel smoothly between devices by controlling the flow of information,
boosting weak signals, and connecting different types of networks. Each device has a unique job,
from simply forwarding data to more complex tasks like connecting different networks together.
In short, network devices act as a mediator between two devices, ensuring data is sent and received
correctly. They are the key for the smooth functioning of a computer network, helping it run
efficiently and securely.

Key Functions of Network Devices:


1. Data Communication: They help send and receive data between different devices.
2. Efficient & Secure Connection: They allow devices to connect to the network in a safe and
effective way.
3. Faster Data Flow: They improve network speed and manage how data is transferred.
4. Security: They protect the network by controlling who can access it and preventing
potential threats.
5. Expand Network Range: They help extend the network's reach and solve signal problems.
