Routers switch packets between different networks. 192.168.1.1/24 to 192.168.2.1/24
It is capable of a router but it's not routing. Hell, it might be capable of token ring but you wouldn't run around saying you were using a token ring network now would you? Routing causes overhead as it has to open up packets to examine it.
The end point was how stupid it would be to have your home network split into two segments with your computer on one side and your internet access on another as this would cause a delay (although, this is still nominal).
