Please specify how? Wired/ Wireless
I assume Wireless (Portable computer)
On any computer which is able to go online through the router:
Step 1) Go to Start=> Run=> CMD (options may change as per the Operating System)
Step 2) On the DOS Window => ipconfig (enter), get the Default Gateway:(192.168.1.1 -> Default Value)
Step 3) Open the Internet explorer and type these numbers in the address bar.
Step 4) User name and password screen pops up => enter 'admin' as the password (default value)
Step 5) On the Linksys Page => wireless => basic Wireless settings => Select manual => Change the name of the wireless network name (SSID) => Linksys (Case sensitive => Default value => Should be changed) [please make a note of the SSID]
Step 6) Goto =>wireless security (subtab) => If it says Disable, enable it. and select a alpha - numeric key (allowed letters 0-9, A-F) make a note of it and type in the Key 1.
Step7) Save Settings.
On the laptop
Step1) Start=> Control Panel => network Connection => Right click wireless network connection and select "view available wireless networks"
Step 2) Select the name of the wireless network SSID => Connect => Enter the Alpha-numeric key as the network key => Connect.
Step 3) validate if you can connect to the wireless internet.
