Lol. Well everyone knows routers store data...right?
They do. History, ip's, user/pass, MACs, some other shit.

Routers!!!
Some asshole not knowing what they are or assuming people don't know what they are doesn't change the fact that they do indeed store data. Very personal data.

Yes, your router does store information about your computer when you connect to it. Typically, it will save a routing table that consists of your computer's MAC address, the IP address that was assigned to your computer, and the lease time of your computer's IP address. Of course, it also stores all the user-configurable stuff in the router (port forwarding, etc).
When you disconnect your computer from the router, the routing table will persist until the lease time expires (unless your computer sent a specific DHCP RELEASE message, which is not mandatory). At that time, the router will probably remove your computer from the list.
However, it may still keep a table in memory so that it can assign the same IP address the next time you connect the same computer. That way your computer has a pseudo-static IP address when you connect to that same router in the future. Of course, the router can choose to change that any time it wants.
So in short, yes, your router stores information about your computer's vitals. However, it does not store information about any network traffic to or from your computer or any personal information on your computer (think about how big a hard drive the router would need to store that much data). From the router's point of view, there's just no value in storing that kind of information.
In order for an outsider to actually see the information that is stored would require they break through whatever encryption protocol you're using (WPA, etc).

No it does not store chat logs amd shit like that. It does track sites but does not store cookies and whatnot. I can see where you went but not what you did. Along with your real IP thats enough.
I do not know how voting machines work. Safety would require no network connection in which case a router is pointless and has no info.
Yall seem to think I believe Trump cuz I said routers hold info. I don't but they do and that was my only point.
