The Setup screen is the first screen you see when you access the web-based utility. If you have already installed and set up the Router, you have already seen this screen and properly configured all of the screen’s values.

Host Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as iden- tification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
