Q&A: Is there a router that can be set up without using a computer?

Posted on November 3, 2016

Question from Donna R.: I know this is probably an unusual question Rick, but is there a router that can be set up using just a smart phone?

I’ll be grateful for any advice you can give me. Thanks for your help!
