No problem. Took me a couple of tries. We have about 50 of these in service now and they are very reliable and our customers are very happy with the bandwidth. A lot better than either DSL or cable. Don't go for the EC box unless you have to. It locks up on occasion and it doesn't look like they are going to fix it.
