I live in the US. For me a computer router is pronounced with an “ow” sound. Like if a Brit were “having a row” with someone, but with -ter at the end. Changing course (“rerouting”) also uses that pronunciation. However, highway “routes” can be pronounced with that same vowel, or as “root” like a plant root.
Which way is “correct” by Kiwi standards?

“root” It’s a French word, and they don’t say “rowt”
