Detailed Description

The terminology used in the description of the embodiments of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application, as will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A Router (Router), also known as a Router, is a computer network device that is capable of transmitting data packets to a destination (selecting a transmission path for the data) over a network, a process called routing. The router is a device connected with each local area network and wide area network in the Internet, and can automatically select and set a route according to the condition of a channel so as to send signals in sequence from front to back according to an optimal path. The router is the hub of the internet. At present, the router is widely applied to various industries, and products with different grades become the main force for realizing the interconnection of various backbone networks, interconnection among the backbone networks and interconnection and intercommunication services between the backbone networks and the Internet. The main difference between routing and switching is that switching occurs at the second layer of the OSI reference model (the data link layer) and routing occurs at the third layer, the network layer. This distinction determines that the routing and the switch use different control information in the process of moving the information, so that the manner in which the respective functions are implemented is different. Also, a router, also called Gateway device (Gateway), is used to connect a plurality of logically separate networks, which represent a single network or a sub-network. When data is transferred from one subnet to another, this can be done by the routing function of the router. Therefore, the router has the functions of judging network address and selecting IP path, and can establish flexible connection in multi-network interconnection environment, and can use completely different data packet and medium access method to connect various sub-networks, and the router only accepts information of source station or other routers, belonging to an interconnection equipment of network layer. It does not care about the hardware devices used by each subnet, but requires running software consistent with the network layer protocol. Routers are divided into local routers and remote routers, the local routers being used to connect network transmission media such as optical fibers, coaxial cables, twisted pair wires. The remote router is used to connect to the remote transmission medium and requires corresponding equipment, such as a telephone line to be equipped with a modem, and wireless to be passed through a wireless receiver, transmitter.

The second antenna structure 130, which is an omni-directional antenna, operates under normal use conditions by a user, and the first antenna structure 120, which is a directional gain antenna, enhances signals for a user in a particular scenario. Specifically, when a user encounters a signal difference or a signal dead angle when using the router 100, the first antenna structure 120, which is a directional gain antenna, works, and by identifying the use position of the user, the driving device 140 works to drive the reflecting member 122 to rotate, and the signal emitted by the first radiator 121 plays a role in enhancing the signal of the user after being reflected by the reflecting member 122, thereby improving the network signal.
