Connecting used router to century link

Just purchased used R7500 router. When installing tells me to go to open wifi networks and connect to my new routers address. The new address does not show up in available wifi.  Any suggestions?

I was told he had done a factory reset before he sold it to me.  He had not.  After the reset the wifi network showed up

and it seems to work. I will always do a factory reset after this.

Thanks
