WiFi access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and any other
devices that emit a WiFi signal for network access.

Connect your router to a modem

Before you can set up your router, you need to connect it to your existing modem.
Note: If your Internet connection does not require a modem, you can connect your
main Internet Ethernet cable to your router.
After you connected your router to a modem and powered it on, finish your router's
installation process using the Nighthawk app or router web interface. For more
information, see Connect to the network and access the router on page 20.
