Can I connect a wired or wireless router to my Modem?
You can connect a wired or wireless router to your Modem. The Modem will
allocate a WAN IP address to your router and then you can configure the IP

simply connect your router to the Ethernet port of your Modem without running
any setup wizards that may ship with the router.
