I was wondering about the pronooncement of rooter before, when i heard some other native english speaker pronoonce it like that, in some vodcast (don't remember which one)

The problem with "router" is that it's the gerund of two different verbs. In British English at least, "rout" (the thing you do to woodwork, or to opposing armies) rhymes with shout, and routing and router in that sense rhyme with shouting and shouter. Meanwhile "route" (the thing you do to packets, or to PCB traces) rhymes with shoot, and routing and router in that sense rhyme with shooting and shooter. I'll check in OED when I get home (if I remember) but my guess would be that "route" was verbed from the noun relatively recently, and in the US before the UK.
