It's pronounced 'rooter'

It's pronounced 'rooter'.

rah-ou'-ter

IT guy at work calls it a roy-ter

Does he work at Reuters?

Rr-out-er

Well, duh.

this is correct. it routes information, hence it is a router. route is a french loan word, hence the correct pronunciation is the one closes to french, which makes it sound like root.

there are times however, when router would not have the root pronunciation. that is when the root word is rout, which means to beat someone so badly as to cause them to retreat. in that case, the person doing the routing is the router.

R"oo"ting is australian slang for coitus.

Don't be dork, use (raʊ̯tər)

Poofter is australian slang for homosexual.

And you're a poofter.

>poor man's soho consumer garbage
>not ethernet switches
he fell for the NAT meme

This is a router. It is prounced 'r-out-er' as in 'outside'.

Route as in the song 'Route 66' is pronounced 'root'. So why do so many fucking Americans pronounce it 'r-out' as in 'outside'? Are you fucking retarded?

What this is not called gateway?
Because:
- it allows communication between local and external network
- it can forward ports (NAT transalation)

Moreover, it has following functions:
- access point for wireless 802.11
- DHCP server
- has built-in switch

But this does not implement routing protocols such as IGRP, RIP. And yet it is called router.

What gives?

Hahaha

>Ro-u-ter
Because it Routes Packages around the major networks.
Because of what I just said, also isnt just a gateway, by default routers route packages between IP's and it can atribute IP's to machines while switches don't.

yes they are. on the other hand, you could say that they are speaking american and not speaking english. hence, in their shitty language, that pronunciation is correct.

So that's aint router nor switch. How would it be called?

>always call it r - outer
>call pathways r-outes
>this thread changes nothing
lmao

>tfw you don't have pronounciation problems because your language isn't fucking garbage

Translation. You can't teach a retard not to be a retard.

Non-Britbongs say Rowt-Ter

Glad to hear somebody not being a faggot.
I work as a software engineer and pretty much all the people around me laugh when I call it a "rooter" not a "rauter"
I live in New Zealand, if I were in murrica where you guys don't know how to speak English properly and have made a mockery of the language, I'd understand, but I'm not.

This part of Britain would say rutter if their accent is strong

I take it you are from the pointy toe end of the UK then.

The t and second r is actually silent which leaves the sequence of r-o-u-e to form a reeeeeeee sound.

wahrliss innernit rah-ter

Kill yourself.

>TFW switch up my pronunciation every once in a while to trigger autists

Feels good

Does anyone use a Sith Holocron for their networking?

Which ROUTE do you take to work?
