CHAPTER 6: Configuring Your Broadband Router

5. The Broadband Router’s automated setup process will take you through each

step for setting up your Router. Press Enter to start the process.

Figure 6-4. Setup screen.

Using a password can protect your Broadband Router from unauthorized
changes. Not using a password can easily leave your Router—and your
network—open to security risks. We recommend using a password for the
security of your network. If you use a password, write it down and keep it in a
safe place, or make sure you can remember it.
