Oh, dude, a router is technically considered a peripheral of a computer because it's not the main computer itself. It's like the middleman of the internet world, directing traffic and making sure all your devices can connect to the internet. So yeah, it's not a computer, but it's still pretty important in the grand scheme of things.

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!

Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?

No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
