[dba-Tech] setup wizard

We didn't use a disk to setup this one with cable Internet, but a technician 
did come out and set it up -- comes with service and apparently, they prefer 
it that way. I'm sure I can do it all manually by just checking the settings 
first, but I thought the wizard would make it easier.

Routers on my list, but I don't have one right now.
