First Claim
1. A method, implemented by a router device, for guiding a user in establishing access privileges for a data exchanger, comprising:
- causing the data exchanger to establish a remote link with a data service provider;
obtaining access content from the data service provider, wherein access content comprises content from the data service provider concerning establishing or otherwise modifying access privileges for the data exchanger;
presenting the access content to a client device;
receiving access data provided in response to the presenting of the access content;
the access content when presented by the client device enabling a user to supply the access data, the access data being useable by the data service provider to set access privileges associated with the data exchanger that enable the data exchanger to be utilized to perform a desired function;
returning the access data to the data service provider via the remote link;
utilizing the data exchanger to implement the desired function; and
wherein the desired function is the routing of data communication between the client device and the internet via the remote link at or above a specified speed.

Abstract
A method, implemented by a router device, for guiding a user in establishing access privileges for a data exchanger includes causing the data exchanger to establish a remote link with a data service provider. Access content is obtained from the data service provider and presented to a client device. Access data provided in response to the presenting of the access content is received. The access content when presented by the client device enables a user to supply the access data. The access data is useable by the data service provider to set access privileges associated with the data exchanger that enable the data exchanger to be utilized to perform a desired function. The access data is returned to the data service provider via the remote link. The data exchanger is utilized to implement the desired function.
