    Actually gaming routers have more ethernet ports and sends up to 10GB/S as they require high speed internet connection. And normal routers have 1 to 10 ethernet ports and they can sends up to 100Mb/s to 1Gb/s.

    Gaming routers gives more better support for QoS (Quality of Service) , that helps prioritize gaming packets over other traffic on your network. But most decent routers these days support QoS and allow you to priortize packets, you don't need a gaming router to do that , there are other reasons why the gaming router is nice. But normal router will also do full fill basic online gaming needs.
