Description of the change

Checked using Ubuntu 16.04.

The only essential change was to change the name of the button in step 4.

The changes to the first paragraph mainly copy the text displayed in the dialog box when the user executes the steps. It's clearer if the desktop help and text in dialog box (more or less) agree.

I made a few other small changes. Eg I reminded the user that he/she can change the SSID and security key if they want to. They don't have to accept the generated values.
