Configure Set-up Wizard on the RV120W and the RV220W

Objectives

The startup wizard for the RV220W and RV120W routers is used to configure all of the basic settings of the devices. Through this wizard you will be able to configure the security level, time zone, the IP address, the MAC address, and the connection you will be using. All of the settings configured in the startup wizard can be changed later; the wizard simply compiles all of the necessary configurations into one operation.

The objective of this document is to show you how to run the startup wizard on the RV220W and RV120W.
