But also there are many companies in the makings of networking components which is also includes routers.
So, there are two basic types of router fixed or non-modular routers and modular routers.
In modular router the interfaces are not fixed so that we will be able to installed cards later on router which are available easily and widely. On the other hand, non-modular router the interfaces are fixed, we cannot able to add ports/interfaces later.
