A network switch is a device that connects multiple devices (computers, printers, servers) in a local area network (LAN).
It ensures fast, stable, and secure communication between all devices.
Why Use a Switch Instead of Just a Router?
Routers connect networks to the internet.
Switches expand the network internally — ideal for offices or businesses with multiple computers or printers.
Switches reduce network congestion and increase speed.
