Broadband Wireless Router User Guide Router An Internet device that routes requests for information to other routers until the information’s location is found and the data can be transmitted back to the origin of the request. SPI is an acronym for Stateful Packet Inspection. The SPI engine examines not just the headers of the packet, but also the packet contents, it can then determine more about the packet than just its source and destination information.
