      I have tried going through Set up wizard as prompted but it cannot get a connection. Although we are connected on the PC it cannot gain any internet connection and is not secure.

      I have checked the set up we have is correct with all included instructions so cannot see the problem.

        Sounds like PPPoE is required, go to Internet setup and configure it manually
