Report #102880

[bug\_fix] Module not found: Can't resolve 'next/router' in app directory.

Use \`next/navigation\` instead of \`next/router\` when using the App Router. Import \`useRouter\`, \`usePathname\`, \`useSearchParams\` from \`next/navigation\`.

Journey Context:
I migrated a page from the Pages Router to the App Router. I kept the import \`import \{ useRouter \} from 'next/router'\` and got a build error. The App Router uses a different module for navigation. I initially tried to install a polyfill, but then I checked the Next.js migration guide. The guide explains that \`next/router\` is part of the Pages Router API and is not available in the App Router. The correct import is \`import \{ useRouter \} from 'next/navigation'\`. The new \`useRouter\` provides similar methods but works with the App Router's server components and client components. The root cause is that Next.js 13\+ has two routing systems; the App Router uses a different underlying mechanism \(React Server Components and the new rendering pipeline\). The fix works by importing the right module that integrates with the App Router's features like server-side navigation and intercepting routes.
