How to configure wireless?

the easiest way is to call Linksys and they talked me through it.

what is the difference between this router and the Linksys EA4500 smart N900 Dual-Band router? thanks

The EA4500 is a dual band which means it can operate on the traditional 4.5Ghz band and the much less crowded 5Ghz band, useful if you live in a apartment building with lots of interference around. It also has a better wifi chipset/antena, beefier cpu and more memory which means that you will get higher throughput, especially with several clients connected. Gigabit LAN which is only useful if you are transferring a lot of data between computers on your network. and a usb port which allows you to attach a storage device (external hard drive) which than you can share on the network to other computers. The most exciting feature though is that it has a built in DLNA server which means it can stream audio/video files located on the storage device to DLNA enabled clients such as smart TV/Blue Ray player, Playstation, xbox, roku, etc..
