A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, while a gateway is a device that allows communication between two networks, typically of different types. A router typically uses one or more network protocols to determine the best path for forwarding the data packets, while a gateway typically uses application layer protocols to determine the best path for forwarding data packets. Additionally, a gateway is used to connect two dissimilar networks, while a router is used to connect two or more similar networks.
