Can we use 2 routers on one network?

Yes, it is possible to use two (or even more than two) routers on the same home network. The benefits of a two-router network include: A second router provides more open Ethernet ports so that additional computers can join the network.

Does the router C change the source and destination IP addresses Why?

Why is that? Ans: No. Since the destination IP address will be used by other routers to forward the IP packets to its final destionation, it cannot be changed. The source IP address in the IP packet is used by the receiver to identify the sender and as the destination IP address for the return IP packets.

What is an interface gateway?

The gateway address (or default gateway) is a router interface connected to the local network that sends packets out of the local network. The gateway has a physical and a logical address.

How are source and destination IP addresses used to route traffic through a network?

When a packet has reached a router, the source and destination address of the packet are used in conjunction with a routing table (list that contains the routes to a certain network) to determine the next hop address. As a result, each packet can be sent through a different route to the destination if necessary.

Do routers have default gateways?

In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet. It serves as the default gateway for all network devices.

How many networks can a router connect?

How Many Devices Can Connect to my WiFi Network? Most wireless access points and wireless routers can theoretically have 255 devices connected at a time. That represents a lot of computers, smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other devices and probably far exceeds the needs of the typical home.

How do I connect two networks?

4. Make sure the router is configured to do routing.
