no it very definitely shouldn't.

there might be (and often is) a setup wizard, but plug and play it is
not.

Erm, when I connected my present (wi-fi) router to this box, it ... just
worked. The last time I had to set up a router was so long ago I've
forgotten how to do it.

if you did nothing and left it at its default settings, then it's not
secure. in fact, it's horribly insecure, dangerously so.

at a minimum, its default password should be changed, a unique wifi
ssid and different password should be chosen, all of which would be
part of a setup wizard, or can be done manually.

many people will want to change other options, such as network
security, port forwarding, qos, dhcp, dns and more.

what wifi router is it?

Win8.1 Home 64 bit on an HP box.

that doesn't matter.
