In many home networks, which device also acts as a router?

Bridge Router Hub Switch

Correct Answer:

Router

Explanation:

In a home network, traffic is directed between devices and toward the internet by a router. The router is the device that connects your local network to external networks (like your ISP) and decides where to send data destined for different networks. In many homes, this role is fulfilled by a single device that also handles NAT, DHCP, firewall, and often wireless access. A bridge links two network segments at layer 2 and doesn’t route between networks. A hub simply repeats signals to all ports, not directing traffic. A switch forwards frames within the same network based on MAC addresses and doesn’t inherently route to other networks. So the device that also acts as a router is the router.
