I have an hard wired Arris router through my cable company. I bought a tablet for my daughter and it is wifi compatible. Is there a way that I can use my Arris router for wireless connection?

There were already many questions about setting up wifi here, you should do a search first– phuclvDec 7, 2013 at 5:58

If your router dosen't do wifi, you can in many cases, with the right software/hardware use a laptop or other wifi capable system as an access point too - I've had good luck with those cheap ralink USB adaptors and the stock firmware.– Journeyman Geek ♦Dec 7, 2013 at 6:01

If your router does not support WiFi then you need to buy a Wireless Access Point.– Mokubai ♦Dec 7, 2013 at 7:20

It depends on the device, Arris makes some modems with WIFI built in and some do not. To better answer your question, I would need to know a model number. If your device does support WIFI, there is a guide to configuring it on Arris' website.

If the device does not have wireless, but does have a spare ethernet port, all you need is a wireless access point (WAP). Here is an example. Simply connect the WAP to the router, some easy configuration, then you are good to go.
