Wtf there are consumer routers with mpcie now?

This specific router has a PowerPC chip and uses PCIe to connect the wifi modules, it was released a decade ago

Does that mean typical ARM based routers do not have a PCIe bus?

I have no idea, just going by what the article says

So, not really GtaVC not really running on a router. amazingly useless, too.

It is really running on a router. This particular router unit had a specific weird architecture that includes PCIE and thus makes it possible to plug in a graphics card. But the game is running on the actual router CPU, RAM and storage.
