Router vs. Gateway: Both a network gateway and a network router assist you in connecting to the internet, but they serve different purposes. A router directs the movement of your data, acting like a traffic cop would. A gateway acts as a translator to connect your data to devices that can communicate in other languages. For instance, your router will choose the optimum path for your data to take in order to go to YouTube's servers if you want to watch a video there. However, your gateway will convert the signals from your phone into something that your smart lights can comprehend if you wish to use your phone to operate them. Sometimes, but not always, a router and a gateway are the same thing.
A gateway is a specific equipment that only functions with particular networks, while a router is a general device that may be used with any network. An RS232 or RS485 device needs to be monitored or controlled, as an illustration. To do this, a Gateway that can connect with an RS232 or RS485 device and translate it into a language that the Internet can comprehend is required.
