If you're reading this at home, you're probably able to do so because of a router. If you're reading this at work or a coffee shop with Wi-Fi, same.
If the CIA installs it, an agent monitoring the traffic through that router will be able to pick up information such as a person's passwords. That agent can also direct the traffic of a person surfing the web via that router, sending that person to any number of sites at which they'll, say, be asked to download some type of malware.
Anyone using a router made by Belkin, Dell, DLink, Linksys, Motorola, and several other companies could potentially have a compromised router, and, if the CIA feels like it, WikiLeaks alleges that the agency can tamper with routers before they arrive in a customer's hands.
Though the CIA can mess with some routers without physically doing anything to them, WikiLeaks says that a favorite method is siphoning a targeted router off from the supply line, installing their own firmware, and monitoring from afar.

WikiLeaks has been dumping information on CIA hacking techniques for weeks now, and though a good chunk of the information seems legitimate, there's reason to read information from WikiLeaks with some skepticism.
The organization, once known solely as a data-dumping watchdog, seemed at times to cheer for President Donald Trump during the 2016 election, although its relationship with the administration is complicated.
