The difference is basically that a gateway is one to one and a router is many to many. Companies like to call things routers when they are only really gateways, so the distinction is being lost over time. I use a D-Link DI-624, it works for me but some have had issues with it.

Linksys Routers, the current ones will function either as a Gateway or a Router: It may not be a good idea to get an N class just Yet because of some problems with Standards, but the B and G class Routers that Have a Wireless Capability from Linksys are great, especially with the Setup Disc from Cisco that makes it incredibly easy to setup; plus Linksys support is superb

The thing you want to buy is a wireless router. Lots of company's make them Linksys is a dependable brand. So is DLink.
The first link is for Canadian prices the second American.
