WhenIn my research on command prompts, the examples all seems to show the computer name and username as the only thing at the "prompt", ie MacBookPro:Documents user$

However when I open terminal, the prompt reads:

codybugstein@TL-WA855RE ~ %

Where does this come from? How is it generated? What is the @ sign? And why is my router model in there?

Thanks!
