Dove is a bird and rhymes with Love, not a false irregular past participle for dived. Route and router derive from french and so are pronounced likewise - root, excepting the guttural french 'r' which no english speakers anywhere are capable of. It is quite jarring to hear the AmE version pronounced like some kind of chaotic battlefield retreat.
