Next up is connecting the Fuel to the internet.  This way, you get the latest firmware updates for the Fuel and you can stay connected to the internet with your mobile device while using the Fuel.  This is important as the Fuel can act as a firewall, and is useful when connecting to open Wi-Fi networks like those found in hotels.  Click the right arrow to continue.
