What makes a router a router is that they're capable of doing NAT and have a stateful firewall, whereas devices that can route network traffic, but can't do NAT and don't have a stateful firewall are switches. Switches are "dumb", "managed", or "smart", and managed and smart switches have UIs for configuring them, offering capabilities like vLANs, vLAN tagging, and VPNs that run downstream of a router. | |

Routers will either offer to add a static route for that or not (and if not, this will keep the two networks unreachable to each other). | |
| Jun 10 at 7:46 | comment | added | Raf | If you don't want to use routers (or gateways) then you need to configure static routes, but that still requires some kind of device in-between that will (sigh) route the packets to the destination. It's unclear to me if we're talking about hardware / physical routing here (i.e. a routing device being present or not, which might not be necessary on radio networks), or software routing. | |
