he Keeps eye on the IP packets flowing. I know there is a lot beyond that but that is the main purpose

A router is used for communication between different networks. It is a layer3 device and uses IP address for communication.Also routers does not allow broadcast address to pass through.

For E.g PC1 has IP of.1.1.1/ and PC2 has IP of..1.1/ these2 PC cant talk to each other unless we have router or L3 switch.
the main purpose of using a router is to route between2 different network and to look for the best route to forward the frames by implementing routing protocol like EIGRP, RIP v2, OSPF....
also you can use it as DHCP server
For connecting multiple networks,forward packets to various destinations and provide network security
The main purpose of using a router is to connect multiple networks and forward packets intended for it's own network or other network. It is made available for the security of the networks.
to assign a Path for the connectivity from one point to another. like it is called WAN connectivity..
one user is sitting in one city and2nd is another city for the connectivity between two points we will use Router
