One thing that Tor gives you: it makes it hard for your Internet
access provider to learn your network activities. This is best achieved
when the Tor client is running on your computer if you want to avoid
monitoring from people sharing the local network.

The other thing is that applications tend to reveal much more that you
think about your system or your work. Without an audit (and some
changes), most applications will leak sensitive data. Channeling their
network traffic blindly to the Tor network might just give you a false
sense of security.

I'm not saying that approaching the question at the router level is
uninteresting, but it's far trickier to get right than one may think.
