> Router is a generic term for something that takes wired Ethernet and performs NAT and creates a wifi network not to nitpick, but this not actually true. for home use, perhaps it is conflated to mean this, but really it is one machine that reroutes traffic on behalf of another - NAT/wifi or other media transformation is not necessarily required here (though definitely could be a part of it)
