Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the English word 'router' is preferred over the native 'enrutador', especially among younger speakers and tech‑savvy users. However, in formal writing you may see 'enrutador' or 'router' with the article 'el' (el router). Remember that the verb 'importar' is often used impersonally, so the subject can be a whole clause, as in this sentence.
