You can connect a laptop with a GPS device but I don't know of any that have one built in (maybe some ruggedised 'mobile' computer used by the military).
There's been talk of putting GPS receivers into laptops though that'd be mainly intended to allow laptop users find out where they are, not to track them (and steps would probably be taken to prevent others from doing the tracking).

No router come with a GPS lol.
all router come with something called MAC address that is how the you will find your device in a network. all device come with a serial # which the company use to track there device when it was made and for warranty reason. none of those will actually track your router to where its located.
good luck and don't worry if you take some one router don't worry they will not find it unless of course if its a wireless router and they happen to be your neighbour they may notice if its broadcasting ther SSID lol
but to answer your question no there is no such tracking device on a router.

Yes, esp if you custom build yours. When I was researching laptops and going to a few sites and custom building them to see how much it would cost they all offered a feature to add a tracking device.
