Is that just a router or a modem / media converter / whatever[1]?

A router should be optional and in most cases it's probably best to 
avoid it completely and use something with OpenWrt instead.

In case it's a modem or media converter check if it is possible *and* 
allowed to put it in bridge mode, then use your own router connected to 
it.

If bridge mode is not possible (for whatever reason) it's still possible 
to use your own router, but for some specific use cases (e.g. port 
forwarding) you will be stuck with whatever the modem's firmware 
supports.

[1] regardless if including a wireless AP or not

Kind regards,
Andrei
