Pfffft. Unnecessary expense. Set up the table saw accurately to begin with. Then make a few
test cuts in scrap to verify.

When working with plywood you typically will get a better cut with a saw
blade than a router bit in this situation.
That said if your panels are relative large and are not perfectly flat
your 45 degree cuts will not be straight or consistent.
Experiment on scraps!

Cut it all on the tablesaw, no matter with size the panels are.

Yep... and I agree about the router.

You decide...
1. On a table saw, you will get a 45 degree cut on two pieces with one cut.
2. To use a router, you have to cut the pieces on a saw then hog off the
excess with your router bit.

What are you cutting them with square with? If it's a tablesaw, then
cutting them square and cutting the 45° angle all on the tablesaw is
the easiest, fastest and most exact method.
If you're cutting with a circular saw, then I'd still want to make the
square and 45° cuts with that too.
Trimming plywood with a router bit is messy and prone to mistakes.
Sorry I left out the (or cut the plywood on the tablesaw with blade at a
45degree)
