And then there are Systems on a Chip (SoC) like the Realtek 8650 that really take it to another level.  See 
http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/~cfliu/work/8650.htm for more information; by most definitions here this would be a SoC 
'hardware' router.  It's in many very low cost SoHo devices, such as NetGear FVS114.
