Gateway is a networking hardware or network node which connects the two disparate network to communicate with each other. Most common gateways are computer and router which can connect an enterprise to the internet.
A firewall is both hardware and software application which sets the rules as per which data packets are allowed to enter the network.
The functionality of both these networking systems are present in many devices, like that in router and that’s why people get confused between gateway and firewall.
