Step 1: Configure the hard wire ethernet on your computer to be DHCP. That is the default setting for most.
Step 2: After plugging in the WR710, connect it to your computer's ethernet port.
Step 3: Log in to the WR710. Default IP address is 192.168.0.254. Default user name is admin, default password is password, I think. If that isn't right, check the label on your WR710 for correct info.
Step 4: Click on Quick Setup. Follow screenshots below.
First, choose Client

Your desired wireless network should show up in the list. If you have multiple access points, you can use the signal strength or MAC address to mac sure you pic the right one. Click Connect on the right.

Your network information should populate. Enter the password for your wifi network in the box near the bottom.

It should connect at this point. If you'd like to assign a fixed IP address, you can do that in your main router, and also in the Network menu option of the WR710.

You can test the functionality by shutting off wifi on your computer, and prove that you still get internet access via the WR710 when you are hardwired in.
Now, you can unplug the WR710 from your computer, and plug its ethernet into the inverter, or whatever remote device you would like to connect to wifi.
Let me know if you have any questions. It has been a couple months, so there could definitely be a step I'm forgetting in there somewhere.
