absolutely as Kush said. I'll forgo one of my shub lectures on this occasion but suffice to say that any free router isn't going to be the best router. If you have got a shub1 (which you will have if you are on 50mbits) the wireless is just a joke. You wouldn't know any better if that is all you ever had but as you have had a proper router then you should notice the difference big time. The firewall also creates no end of problems and VM have gone so far as to disable it by default.

I strongly recommend you invest in a new wireless router so you can continue to have reliable wireless performance for your phones and tablets and you can also change your dns server and lots of other handy things as well.

If you choose to ignore our advice you will find a wireless tab somewhere in the gui and you will need to either specify 2.4ghz or 5ghz for the wireless channel, a name (so you can identify the network) and a password (not the same one which you used to log into the shub).
