[dba-Tech] wireless invasion

That did it, and I was able to get in using the default admin and "" 
password -- not good. I know that I ran that friggin wizard when I installed 
the router! ;(

I don't know whether to run the setup wizard or take the manual route --  
advice? Since I don't know what I'm doing, I'm inclined to use the wizard, 
but I did that before and look where I am!
