    Finish the wizard..

     

    When the wizard completes click the TC and check the errors in the summary. Fix as many as possible and ignore the rest.

    Click edit and fix up the way the TC works.

     

    For instance in bridge to the existing router.

     

    Go to the Internet tab and make sure it is set to dhcp.

    Go to the Network tab and make sure it is off (bridge mode)
