A router is a device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded towards its destination. The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to.

Router is a network layer hardwae device whose main purpose is to provide a shortest path to data to the desired destination. For this router maintain a routing table with ip addresses to various destinations and from which interface that network is accessible. You also put policy on router by definning commands over it.

Router are for following funcctions
Routing
Stop broadcasting Domain

The main purpose of router is routing through a network by selecting the best shortest path using a routing protocol through an internetwork so that the data can reach its intended destination network quickly with minimal number of hops(router) that is the main purpose and to extend the concept of LAN to a broader scope to MAN's or WAN.Because they function at layer 3 so router segment the network into unique collision and broadcast domains and each segment is reffered to as a network and the network is indentified by an IP address a unique identity of a network. Other purpose are:
1) Connectivity between VLAN's in a switched environment.
2) Implementation of security measures using ACL's for filtering incoming and outgoing traffic.
3) Administrator perform network management and troubleshooting tasks on it.
4) Implementation of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for specified type of network traffic for traffic management.
The shortest path is selected based on the metric, interface and IP adress. Metric is a specified value that can be either bandwidth, delay, number of hops etc use by routing protocol running over a router.Various type of protocol can be used based on the type of network to which the router is connected.

i think make routing between different networks

In fact router routes the packets on the base of their IP addresses ,it is in fact a third layer device which uses different techniques, software and protocols for routing packets to their appropriate destination.
Protocols used in the router are based on what type of the network and the topology is used.

connects the networks.
do logical addressing
