Detailed explanation-1: -The default gateway is the path used to pass information when the device doesn’t know where the destination is. More directly, a default gateway is a router that connects your host to remote network segments. It’s the exit point for all the packets in your network that have destinations outside your network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Default gateway is the piece of hardware that sits between user’s home network and the rest of the internet. In most local networks, the default gateway is the Wi-Fi router. It allows user to access servers and devices outside of their network-all the traffic they send and receive goes through it.
Detailed explanation-3: -A default gateway is the node in a computer network using the Internet protocol suite that serves as the forwarding host (router) to other networks when no other route specification matches the destination IP address of a packet.
