    sorry I feel like a total noob but I can't seem to figure out how to set a password for my wireless internet. When I go through the steps on the installation CD it just asks me to create a network name, no password or anything. On page 13 of the manual it shows a setup wizard that I need to get to but I can't seem to figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

    You get to it by addressing it in your address bar.
    look in the manual for your brand of wireless router
    Its usualy something like 192.168.1.1 or so

    Did you read the help files contained on the router? Log into the router, click on setup, and then read the help.
