The choices are gateway and router?  That is an odd selection.  

A Gateway is a "where packets that are not local to this network should
be sent".  Also called a "default route"...

A router is "a device that knows how to get to 2 or more networks and
makes decisions on where to send packets based on its knowlede of those
networks."

In most cases, the gateway -is- a router... what good is passing
packets onto a supposedly more net-knowledgeable machine if it doesn't
know what to do with them...

What model router is this?
