Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the router needs to go in the same outlet as old one. Totally remove old one. You will need to connect with new password.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Correct, the WAN is your signal source port. Just plug the Ethernet cable from your internet modem into WAN and then if you have anything you keep hardwired connections to, those run from the 4 LAN ports.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.WAN = Wide Area Network. That is the port to connect to your modem (the internet).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, just follow the included setup sheet and connect your internet to the WAN port when it tells you to. It is very easy to set up and will expand your single internet cable to both wired and wireless (on both 2.4 and 5GHz ranges) devices .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.WAN means Wide Area Network, any time you see WAN that means it is the internet connection. Whatever cable you have currently plugged into your internet port on your current router would plug into the WAN port on this router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. The internet and WAN ports are the same. Whatever is plugged into the internet port on your old router will be plugged jnto the WAN port on this router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can connect to Internet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes unplug you modem first.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you would connect the old "internet" labeled connection to the new router's "WAN" port. If you are replacing a modem that is also connecting to your cable boxes (such as FiOS) then do some research first as it's not an easy swap for non techie people.
