I'm defo not an expert & I've managed to set up a few. Follow the wizard or guide & if you're struggling ask a question on here and you'll be sorted. She'll be stealing your bandwidth if she's on at the same time as you mind

.
You ISP might even send you a free router if you ask nicely, threaten to leave or upgrade.

Dead easy - just remember the router becomes the gateway to the internet not your computer.

So you put your isp log in details into the router not into your puter

Remember if daughter is filesharing downloading movies or music shes liable to nail most of your bandwidth!
