   No, they do the generic setup, and if something breaks (tv not working,   
   phone not working) they can get in and have a look, and perhaps, change   
   what is wrong. Hopefully writing down in a log.   
      
      
   Initially the client had access to a remote web page to setup his own   
   router. Advanced users asked to learn the password, and access the   
   router local web page for admin. I did that long ago.   
      
   Instead, the current router has a very simple admin page with password   
   (printed in a label underneath the router) and help pages, and an   
   advanced setup that asks "are you sure"? but has the same password and   
   no help pages. And a complex setup.   
      
      
   Wifi (ssid/pass), typeof security, and channel   
   WiFi+   
   WiFi for guests (ssid/pass, type of security   
      
   Ports to open to what local machine   
      
   LAN map   
   LAN config (gateway, mask, dhcp on/off, range, dns1 dns2)   
      
   Config is multiple (with NAT) or single post (transparent router)   
      
   IPv6 (dhcp mode, ports, filter)   
      
   router password   
      
   Firmware updates   
      
   Other (write/read profile, factory reset, wifi factory reset, firewall   
   disable, universal UPnP enable/disable.
