The math
For components in series (both must work), multiply their availabilities. If Router A has % and Router B has %, the path through both gives %.
For parallel redundancy (either can work), use: . Two % components in parallel give %.
This is why redundancy matters. Two mediocre components in parallel beat one excellent component alone.
