Force acting as Master Browser

In a peer-to-peer network like Windows for Workgroups, it helps to designate one device as the Master Browser. A device that is presumably *always* available, and considered authoritative when it comes to mapping NetBIOS names to the network adapters of clients.
So yes, to the extent that Windows for Workgroups is relevant (and that's highly questionable these days; most things are now using IP and DNS), the router is an ideal Master Browser since it's guaranteed to be available 24/7 (unlike, for example, your office PC).
