Unless the router runs on Linux and allows installion of 3rd party programs, it would be possible. Would need a fast processor to transcode video though.
The other way you can - buy/build a NAS(Network Attached Storage), these are capable to run 24/7. My NAS server sit side to side with my router.
Popular NAS companies are QNAP, Synology, Thecus, ReadyNAS - these NAS's has ready made packages/modules to install Serviio very easily without you trying to compile it yourself, just like the Windows/Mac installers.
Advantage having a NAS, it can hold alot of storage depending on what NAS you buy.
The cheapest option is running Serviio on Raspberry Pi (costs £25/$25) that can be connected to your router.
