Ummm... The setup page can be reached with:
<http://gateway.2wire.net/setup>
Depending on ISP, the router IP address might vary somewhat.

I think you might find the installation instructions worth reading:
<http://www.2wire.com/?p=266>

The HG2700 is stupidly setup for WEP encryption by default. This is a
bad idea because WEP has serious security problems. Once you get to
the wireless setup page, change the encryption type to WPA and set a
long and complex pass phrase. Once that's done, setup your wireless
client to connect to your 2wire router. It should ask for a WPA key.
Type it in, and you're done.
