   He started a thread asking about the wifi SSID key.  I'm guessing the   
   next thread will be on how to generate keys and passphrases and get his   
   wireless hosts connected.   
      
   As for spoon feeding him, I think he's at the end of his bait line even   
   if he claims he can't figure out to click on the tabs to navigate   
   between the different config panels shown to him by the router's web   
   server.  I'm tossing the lure at this point.   
      
   If your "it" means him asking anything else about his routers, I'm   
   betting that'll continue.  The next phase will be him setting up   
   wireless connections ... and, no, he will not have yet read the manual   
   on that.  Then it will be how to configure the router's firewall.  Then   
   how to punch holes through it when he wants to run a publicly accessible   
   server (that probably violates the contract with his ISP for his   
   personal use account).  Then it will be on how to use a DDNS (dynamic   
   DNS) to find his router from outside using a hostname instead of an ever   
   changing IP address as dynamically assigned to him by his ISP.  There   
   are lot of stuff to do with a router.  It's only after you've gone   
   through configuring it a dozen times that you start to feel comfortable   
   with it so, say, after a reset you remember how to set it all up again.
