    I would use a wired PC and web browser to walk thru the setup wizard.

    Press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release. Wire connect up a PC and walk thru the setup wizard.

        No, but you can if yon want to. The login info and pw will be confgured automatically on the RBS once it's synced to the RBR.
