It'll have a QR code printed on it.
That won't take you to the router's web server.
It'll take you to the play store to download the app. Which requires Play Services and access to your exact location, contacts, storage, call history and messages, just to set up your router.
MFW I first got my current router and went to set it up and couldn't find the factory ID and password on it anywhere. Then realized it was on a damn app now. Which was bad enough, but after jumping through all the hoops, I discovered that (to no surprise really) what you can set up is very limited.
Sure I should buy my own router or flash an older one... but then again the last bad storm that fried the router this one replaced, the ISP replaced it at no charge. So... I live with it, I guess.
Wouldn't it be more sensible to invest in some surge protection, if that's an issue where you are?
it would still the ISP router be the one that connects to the network outside the building, so chances are that if it comes again over tge network cable, it will still only fry the ISP router
