you are complicating things to much. a router is a device that connects and forwards packets between LANs- period.
routers are gateways and use to be called gateways before they where named routers. it can be a PC, a server, or an appliance like a cisco router ( an appliance is a stripped down PC that has a specialized operating system specificly for that function thats it nothing fancy about em).
