a gateway is a class of devices, of which router is a member... that is, a router is one kind of gateway. more generally, a gateway is a device that joins two networks. typically this is connecting a LAN to a WAN or to the Internet. A router or a switch both do this at different levels. I don't see anything with "gateway" in it's name on the Linksys website... -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
