USB or ethernet connection
I just purchase a Thunderbolt 3 PCLe + i/o card. It has a USB3 connection. How should I connect it to my router? should I use a USB3 to ethernet adapter or can I use a USB cable to connect the two of them? I heard that USB3 is faster than ethernet. Can the rounter be connection via the USB port?
Please advise,

Please post about this here for your model router:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-nighthawkNormally you don't connect PCs to routers via USB. The USE ports on the router is reserved for USB storage devices and USB printers.
Good Luck.
