Most Definitely A Peripheral. A router in itself does usually contain a microprocessor and some form of memory, but it is still a peripheral.
Modern routers are sophisticated computer devices with storage, memory and network interfaces (possibly including wifi) to perform their routing functions. They may use a custom designed CPU or any of several available processors. Some may have a proprietary software system. Many use the freely available version of Linux or BSD Unix modified to perform routing and firewall filtering functions
Although a router is accessible and configurable from a computer using a network connection (or a serial connection), it is an independent operating device with its own computing capability and is not a peripheral device to any specific computer.

For a wireless router to work does the computer with ist have to be on is the other computer to get the wireless signal from that computer?
If you do have a wireless router on, you don't need any other computer to be on, say if you have a laptop downstairs, and a computer with the router upstairs, the computer can be off, but the router has to stay on, and you can access the internet using the laptop from downstairs, if you have a good enough signal. Hope this helps!
