Hello, I wish to use the relay on the board to turn on and off a simple AC router. How should the router be wired to the board? can I simply cut 1 of the 2 live wires and connect the 2 cut ends to the board?

What is power rating of your motor? If it's over 200Watt, it's not recommend. Better to use a SSR instead. The voltage/current that support on board relay should be high enough to drive the SSR. You need to remove the on board relay before hooking up a SSR to the power pins as it may not has enough current to drive both relay and the SSR.
Remember, a relay of a SSR is just like a switch. I hope you know how to use a switch to control On and Off of a device. If not, do some reasearch and get some idea of what is a relay or a SSR. I did post a basic diagram about the relay. Usually you use COM and Normally Open (N.O.) for controlling.
