## Overview

**Choose** is the first of the wizard's top-level steps, and everything that
follows is shaped by it. The app describes it as *"Router Selection &
Configuration Mode"*. You tell it how much control you want, which upstream
links you have, and exactly which MikroTik model is on your desk. The answers
here decide which sub-steps appear in **WAN**, **LAN** and **Extra Config**, so
it is worth getting them right the first time rather than backtracking.

Choose has its own vertical stepper on the left. Its sub-steps appear and
disappear depending on your answers.

## Before you start

- Know whether you have a domestic link, a foreign link, or both.
- Know your exact router model, because port counts and wireless capability differ
  between models and the generated script is built around them.
- Decide between Easy and Advanced first; see
  [Easy mode vs Advanced mode](/en/guides/nasnet-connect/easy-vs-advanced/).

## Steps

1. **Setup Mode.** Pick Easy or Advanced.
2. **WAN Link Type.** Domestic only, foreign only, or both.
3. **Router Model.** Pick your device, or define a custom one.
4. **Router Mode.** Advanced Mode only. Single router, or router plus access
   point.
5. **Slave Router**, **Interface Type** and **Router + Access Point Interface**,
   only if you picked Router + Access Point Mode.
