Router, WiFi, Bluetooth, Setting up a network.

Router sits between 2 networks. It goes to your ISP first. ISP is a network that dishes out numbers. The tele communication can only give out so many numbers, so it gives your router a number.  The router is a way of dividing 2 networks up, it passes info thats going around one network to another network, keeping the traffic separate.  Routers control traffic.

WiFi- transferring data between devices without the need for a physical connection. It is faster than Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is used to transfer small files between mobile devices. When you use a bluetooth connection, the network is being run off your device (phone for example). To run of a wireless network, it must be being run somewhere.  Bluetooth is between two devices only.

To sep up an network for the internet, you need an ISP, software.
