They can be disguised as images, videos, audio files, or cards. They can be hidden in other files and spread to your computer when you download something from the internet.

Will a router transfer virus to the other computer?

It will, if you (or the virus) tells it to. However, even if a virus is transferred to another computer it will not run on that computer unless you or another program executes it, or unless the virus is able to exploit some security vulnerability in another program in order to run. A router will not transfer viruses to another computer on its own.
