Nighthawk AC2300-R7000 Can I use USB to USB to connect to my lap top
My router and my internet provider equipment (fiber optics) an not getting along. Of course Nine Star is pointing their finger at my router, but it will start working again out of the blue. No change in the LEDs on the router. Anyway, I reset the router and now I canot get it back to where it will work again. I have a Lenovo lap top and it is very limited on the types of ports it has. Can I use a USB to USB to connect the router to my laptop instead of the ethernet cable? I guess I am going to have to do a factory reset? Thank you very much. I am probably the least tech savy person you will ever talk with. I'm old.

No. The usb port on the router isn't for internet access. its for printer/usb storage
What are the led's on the router doing?
have you tried a factory reset?
what firmware is on the router?
What modem/gateway is it connected to from your isp?
