Difference Between Gateway and Routers
The main difference between router and gateway lies in their functionality and the scope of devices they connect to.
While a router primarily focuses on routing network traffic between different networks, a gateway device, specifically an IoT gateway, is designed to collect data from multiple IoT devices by using various network protocols like BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and more.
IoT gateways are frequently used as a smart hub because of its multiprotocol features able to connect and manage a wide range of IoT devices. In addition to this networking capabilities, IoT gateways often offers additional interfaces like HDMI, USB, RS485, RS232, I2C, SPI, PCIe, GOPIs, etc., making them a versatile network device for connecting and controlling a range of IoT devices.
Certain powerful IoT gateways also have the capability to process device data locally, which lowers bandwidth fees and enhances security. These gateways are known as IoT edge computing gateways. The enclosure and installation of IoT gateways can be customized to suit specific environments, such as industrial gateways, in order to ensure optimal functionality and placement.

Applications of DSGW-040-7 Wireless Router Gateway
How to Set up DSGW-040-7 Wireless Router Gateway?
When power is inserted, both the green and yellow LEDs will illuminate. Wait until the yellow LED turns off and the green LED starts blinking. Once the green LED remains lit, the gateway has successfully booted up.
Perform a reset function by pressing and holding the button for 10 seconds. This action will erase all matched information.
The system initialization is indicated by a green LED light. A yellow LED light indicates that Zigbee is operational. When the gateway talks to Zigbee sensors, it blinks. The LED will likewise flicker while in pairing mode.The red LED light signifies cloud connectivity. It goes out if the gateway connects successfully. It will stay lighted in the event of a connection failure.
The Wi-Fi supports both AP and client modes, which can be switched as needed. Enter the AP name and the password shown on the user manual. For Zigbee, BLE,Z-Wave operation, please read our user manual.
