Why do today's routers come with install cds?

[Shawn]

What's more is it says to run the cd before you hook up the router. Screw that!

So that the n00bs don't have to RTFM.

Real geeks don't RTFM either.

Because we know what we're doing without any prompting.

I'm thankful for those CDs. I think I could set up a router on my own, but for a noob it is good to get it working before you start mucking with settings. I just got broadband so I had to set up my first router, and the CD made it (almost) painless. The network the CD set up does not resemble my current network, but it gave a nice starting point.

just think of the number of calls it saves you from friends setting up their NEW ROUTERS! hehe

That explains the lack of decent documentation in the computer world.
