It would help if we knew the make / model of a router.

In lamens terms.. a routers job is to "route" internet traffic to individual devices. Phone, Pc, Laptop etc. Wirelessly and wired. You can have a "all in one" modem and router. Or you can have a modem (usually comes from the isp, comcast, etc) and router seperate.

Are you having certain issues with connectivity or...?

The easiest thing to do is google your exact router model. There will be dozens of other people who have asked the same exact questions and you will likely find very specific info from a google search.
