How do you pronounce 'router'?

I've pronounced the (incorrect?) way , rowter and rowtes (/ou/ sound like cow) all my life. It's probably wrong but other people do it too

In Canada, "route" is pronounced "root", so "rooter" would make sense. However, I only hear it pronounced as "row-ter" ("row" rhymes with "how"), and I usually follow the pronunciation of the day to avoid having to repeat myself.

Like @drimike said: ROW-ter. "Row" being said like "wow" but with an "r".

I always say "Rowter". My friends and family take the mick out of it as they all say "Rooter". (We're from the UK and I guess "Rooter" is the typical way people say it in the UK and "Rowter" is the more US Term used).

I say row-ter. When routing cables - I also say row-te.


However, when it comes to many other things it'll be roo-ter (such as I'm planning a route).

router from word route as you do route and share the connection to WIFI and other devices and nothing to do with ROWter, WOWter, MOWter or RAUter.
