Introduction

Setup Wizard is an easy-to-use program included on your TrueMobile 2300 CD.  It provides simplified configuration procedures for establishing Internet connectivity on the Wireless Broadband Router. The Setup Wizard first extracts the connection settings from your active ISP connection on your PC with Cable/DSL modem.  It then displays a series of graphical illustrations on how to connect the router to the network.  Finally it applies the extracted settings on your router and validate its installation.   If the installation cannot be completed successfully, the Setup Wizard will display troubleshooting instructions to guide you through the installation process.

In addition, the Setup Wizard also provides links to the User's Guide on the TrueMobile 2300 CD and also the Dell support website.
