Installing a second router in one home.

I am moving home soon that has current tenants in the property, there is already a router connected in the new home i am moving into.

Is it possible for me to have my current router installed into the new home and if so would i be able to have it installed in a specific part of the house like a bedroom or living room or does have to have be at a specific port or connection point within the house that the router would need to be connected to.

Essentially could you have one router connected at one part of the house and another connected in a different part of the house.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

@OwenMercer A line is required for Internet Broadband either Copper cable or a FF Full Fibre connection, the existing service that is there should be cancelled by the previous occupants and you will require to home move your service to that and establish a new connection with your ISP.

Spreading your signal around the home is better done by mesh, boosting or RE/AP's in the home, rather then multiple hubs and having to configure each to get a working system! HTH.
