I find the language somewhat confusing. This is what I undestand the paragraph to say:
Note that it is possible that there is no router on the link in this sense, but there is a node that has the ability to forward packets. In this case, the forwarding node's address must be manually configured in nodes to be able to send packets off-link, since the only mechanism to configure the default router's address automatically is to send router advertisements.
