That doesn't make any sense to me.
The only way they would be able to connect your router to the office network is with site-to-site VPN, but most home routers don't even support this, so I would be surprised this is the solution he would be attempting first.
For admin access to your computer, there are many different ways of accomplishing this. Some, like VNC, may require forwarding of ports on your router. However, others like TeamViewer, do not require any changes on the router.
If you need to access resources on your office network, then that's another issue altogether. As lilaznviper said, they should have a client-server VPN in place where you would just need to install software on your computer, or maybe even web-based access.
