Then the Regexp matching is the problem. If you don't need that, you can just turn it off. Otherwise the host name must be unique. 

I never used regexp matching in Nagios but with use_true_regexp_matching=1 you should normally be able to achieve what you want by using:

host_name       ^router_$

The ? and $ will match start and end of line respectively so it won't match any other host having the string "router_" as part of it (So when you define router_2 it won't detect a duplicate service).
