A router is a networking device that connects multiple networks and directs data packets between them, typically within a local area network (LAN) or between a LAN and a wide area network (WAN). A gateway, on the other hand, acts as a "gate" between different networks, often involving protocol translation to connect networks that use different protocols, such as connecting a home network to the internet. Essentially, while routers primarily handle traffic within or between similar networks, gateways manage communication between dissimilar networks.
