Getting started with the Setup Wizard

When a Guest Internet controller is first installed, it is necessary to complete the "Setup Wizard" to add the information needed to get the WiFi service started. You can also choose the preferred language, English or Spanish.

In the "Setup Wizard" menu on the left as illustrated on the picture below, you will find the following tabs:
