Ég hef alltaf litið á þetta þannig að maður sé að beina (gera "route") internetinu yfir í tölvuna og þessvegna hef ég alltaf sagt RÚTER og mun alltaf gera. hinnsvegar segja mjög margir RÁVTER, sem (eins og er bent á fyrir neðan) er borið fram eins og "rávt" í viðarvinnu og eins og að hlaupa úr bardaga.
ég lærði líka pínku lítill að bera "Route" fram sem "rút" (eins og það er borið fram af öllu enskumælandi fólki), svo ég sá ekki hvernig það gæti verið rétt að segja rávter
en annars hefur þetta verið rifrildi í mörg ár hvernig sé "rétt" að bera þetta fram, og eina sem fólk hefur komist að er að hvorugt er réttara. veldu bara hlið og BERSTU
How to pronounce ‘router’
Many people these days seem to be comfortable pronouncing the word “router” as “rauter” rather than “ruuter” which I believe it should be. “Router” comes from the word “route” (pronounced “ru:t” in the Oxford Dictionary, and meaning “way taken from one place to another”) and not “rout” (pronounced “raut”, which means “disorderly retreat of defeated troops; overthrow, defeat”).
Most people with a technical background (if not everyone) know that the function of the “router” is to route something (normally data) so that it follows the route predetermined by a programmer.

One of the definitions of the word “router” given by the online Encarta World English Dictionary North American Edition is its meaning as a computer term, i.e. “a computer switching program that transfers incoming messages to outgoing links via the most efficient route possible, for example, over the Internet”. Both pronunciations are given, i.e. “ruuter” and “rauter”.
From its definition, I think you are right about its origin from the word “route” rather than “rout”. In British English, “route” is pronounced “ruut”. However, in American English, it can be pronounced EITHER “ruut” OR “raut”. This is attested to both by the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary and the online Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of American English. On my first visit to the US in 1990, I was startled and intrigued to hear a bus driver in Austin, Texas, announce the change of “raut” of his bus!
So, the Malaysians who pronounce “router” as “rauter” are just using an American pronunciation of that term.

ROO TER English pronunciation
ROW TER American / Australian pronunciation
The derivation from route is, at least, consistent given the American
pronounce route as ROW T, something English speakers would associate with
woodworking or running away from a battle.
It can cause amusement when you discuss both woodworking and networking
with peers across the pond.
