I've never seen an autorouter that actually worked, on real world boards.
By that I mean boards where it matters not only that all the nets are connected, but that large pulse currents return to the proper places.

On the packages where I can tell it these things, I could have manually routed it faster than I can tell it all the rules. 

I use autorouters for density checking.
