How can I reduce CB radio harmonics from interfere with
wireless router?

The best thing to do would be to ground your antenna properly and move the router away from the area where your antenna is.
The other option is the get a beam antenna as this will stop the umbrella effect of stick antennas. Maco makes a nice 3-element beam for about $120.
EDIT....A CB will interfere with ANY electronics because of third and forth order harmonics...just because your CB ranges 26-27 Mhz....the harmonics can be in the Gigahertz range. And the potential the CB has, being RF, WILL impose itself on ANY electronics.

You can try putting those snap-on magnets that go around cords to keep power cords/cords from acting as an antenna and reduce interference.
Like you see on the data cable coming out of a monitor.
But I doubt a CB would be interfering with a wireless router. One's low frequency and the other's high frequency. Unless you're running really high power on the CB.

Physical separation should help. Move both the radio and antenna away from the router. If you have a power mic, this could be causing over-modulation and creating interference for your router. If you have a linear amplifier, this may also cause problems.
