I thought I was going crazy when their website kept pushing me to the app and I couldn't find an activate modem link. Please, why? Why is this necessary?

[jareklupinski]

they probably do something like switch your device's wifi network to the one that the router broadcasts to set itself up

for an app with wifi permissions it's trivial, but there is no API to do this through a browser so we're stuck downloading an app

i probably would not grant full network permissions to an app anyway

Analytics probably.
