Audio Video Term

Router

Router is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Router is the network device that connects the local network to the internet and manages traffic between networks.

Example of Router

A managed network can support streaming video, cameras, touchscreens, access points, control processors, and guest Wi-Fi without overloading one router. In that kind of Davis networking project, the term Router would describe the network device that connects the local network to the internet and manages traffic between networks. Davis would use that understanding to account for router, switch, and access point placement, wired backhaul, guest access, and device reliability, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
