Who are these "Brits" that's another American misconception, there are
no "Brits", I'm English and a citizen of the United Kingdom. "Brits" is
like calling all Americans "Yankees" which I'm sure those of you from
the South won't take too kindly.
So a short English lesson:
The correct English pronunciation of the word "router" depends upon
context so a device for sending data is a "roo-ter" whilst one for
cutting wood is a "rou-ter". Quite simple really, just consider
root - of a plant
route - a direction to travel
rout - flight ( from a battle)
even Americans do it - row a boat, row with a friend - same word
different pronunciation even in the US (as far as I know)
Remember that in the US much of the English is still using 17th Century
words, whilst in the UK things have moved on, they trade Stocks on the
Stock Market we trade SOT hares on the Stock Market - the instituation
here still has the old name, they have sidewalks we have pavements and
many other examples.
As to what the French say, who cares - as George W once said the French
don't even have a word for "entrepreneur".

no offense to the Brits but don't they pronounce ROOTER?
I wonder which one is the right pronuntiation...
