2. Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it into an electrical outlet.
3. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back of the router, and the other end to your modem or primary device.

10. Save the changes and restart the router if prompted.
11. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer, if used, and connect to your Wi-Fi network using the SSID and password set up in the previous step.

No, the Asus RT-AC66U is not a modem. It is a wireless router. A modem is a device that connects to your internet service provider (ISP) and allows you to access the internet, while a router is a device that allows multiple devices to connect to the internet and share that connection. The Asus RT-AC66U can be used in conjunction with a separate modem to provide wireless internet access to multiple devices in your home or office.
