The tradition that John had written both had been handed down since the earliest times that the books were in circulation. The text itself indicates that 'John' was the author. Other indicators are the similarity in the distinctive terms used and the technique of developing opposing themes.

We do know that the Book of Revelation was written by a person called John, because it is signed as in verses 1:1 and 1:4 by God's servant John. However, we do not know the name of the author of John's Gospel and have no reason to assume that his name was John.
Late in the second century, the Church Fathers struggled to establish who wrote the Gospel now attributed to John. The believed that the author could have been the "disciple whom Jesus loved", mentioned several times within the Gospel. Of the several disciples mentioned in the Gospel, theY noticed that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was never mentioned in the same pasage as the disciple John. On this and other evidence, they decided that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" must be John, and that John must be the author of the Gospel. This is tenuous at best.
Having decided that the disciple John wrote the Gospel According to John, because of the coincidence of names they then decided that the same John must have been the author of both books. Three assumptions, each improbable in itself, were strung together to establish that the same person wrote the two books. Nowadays, some Christians recognise the absurdity of this argument, and simply ascribe Revelation to an otherwise unknown "John of Patmos".
