It has its own firmware, it doesn't use an 'operating system' as such.
A "router operating system" is called firmware. It runs a router. A regular OS (Operating System) runs your computer. Operating systems are provided by many different organizations and corporations. Firmware is provided by the manufacturer.
The firmware usually contains all of the code necessary to boot the machine. If the firmware is damaged, the machine will be unusable. Give the relative difficulty of upgrading firmware safely, it is often better to place only immutable code in the firmware, and make any changes / fixes necessary to the operating system on disk.
Extensive firmware interface is defined as a specification that originates from Intel. It defines the interface between platform firmware and the operating system. It tries to reduce dependence of the OS on the firmware implementation details.
embeded os works as a firmware and applies the concept of firmaware .
Neither. An operating system is typically a piece of software.
Firmware is a program that is stored on non-volatile memory on integrated circuits. Roughly speaking it is hard wired in and can not be changed without changing the components. OS (operating system) is simply the base program that allows your computer to work although this is a bit vague because MS Windows is usually called and operating system but it operates through DOS (disk operating system) which is also an operating system. The OS is usually stored on the hard drive. Your computer will have firmware that loads up the operating system when you switch it on.
The part of the operating system stored in ROM is typically the firmware, which includes the bootloader and essential system utilities required to start the computer and load the operating system into RAM. This firmware is critical for initializing hardware components and performing basic system checks before handing control over to the operating system. Unlike software stored on a hard drive, firmware in ROM is not meant to be modified frequently, ensuring that the system can reliably boot up.

Firmware, Operating System, and Utilities.
The software that acts as the master controller in a computer is its firmware. Traditionally, this firmware was known as the ROM BIOS. It was initially installed on Read-Only Memory that could not be changed, and was called the Basic Input/Output System. Now that has been supplanted in newer computers by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI).
