A: Your internet speed is not affected by the type of router you have. Internet speeds are controlled by your internet service provider and the DOCSIS version your modem has. The AX1800 is a router only. For internet service you still need a modem. You need both, either as two separate components or a combined router/modem. You may be renting a combined router/modem that you have previously purchased or are renting from your internet service provider. If you are also receiving internet phone service from your ISP, you may have to keep renting their compatible router/modem device. If you have internet only service then you may want to get out of monthly equipment rental fees and purchase your own router and modem. I have the Netgear AX1800 WiFi router and the Netgear CM700 (DOCSIS 3.0) modem. Your modem connects to your internet service provider with a coax cable or if DSL with something that looks like a telephone cable. The modem connects to the router with standard Ethernet cable (RJ-45 connectors). If your current router has a connector for coaxial cable then it's a modem/router, not just a router.
A: No hard wire needed. I set it up wirelessly with my iPhone.
