Detailed explanation-1: -However, a router is used to join two similar types of networks and a gateway is used to join two dissimilar networks. Dissimilar could be used to describe networks that use different primary protocols. Due to this logic, a router may be considered a gateway, but a gateway is not always considered a router.
Detailed explanation-2: -Routers can be gateways because a router can control the path through which information is sent in and out. It does so by using built-in headers and forwarding tables to figure out where packets of data need to be sent.
Detailed explanation-3: -The gateway converts information, data or other communications from one protocol or format to another. A router may perform some of the functions of a gateway. An Internet gateway can transfer communications between an enterprise network and the Internet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since your router is most likely the entry node to your wireless network, your router IP and default gateway IP are the same thing. It is also called a private IP address.
