Power up the modem and wait for the appropriate lights (power, ethernet, and activity – something along these lines)
Connect
the modem and router with an ethernet cable (if there is a WAN port on
the router make sure to put the cable in this port).
Connect
Port 1 on the router to the network card on the computer using an
ethernet cable and check to see there is a light at the correct port.
Open
a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Input your routers
id (usually an IP address or an URL) in the browsers address bar and
press Enter. The address bar is where you would normally see, for
example, http://www.google.ca If you don't know the IP address (such
as 192.168.1.1) or the URL, try going to the manufacturers web site and
downloading a manual.
Now,
a window will open asking for a user name and password (these are given
to you in the instructions of the router). For example, Dlink sets up
some of their routers as, username: admin and leave the password field
blank then press OK.
Now
you are in the configuration page of your router (wireless most
probably). Here you can set the encryption, new passwords etc… If your
not comfortable doing these on your own most routers have a wizard that
you can follow.
If
everything goes alright and the settings are successful you can now try
the wireless connection. Go to a machine with a wireless card, right
At
the computer with the wireless connection, make sure the connection is
on You might be trying to connect to the network by using either the
application that came with the router or windows wireless
configuration. Right click the icon in the system tray and “view
available networks”. If it comes up in a window saying “Windows is not
setup for wireless networks” then you must right click on the correct
icon in the tray.
Now,
in the list of available networks, click on the name of your network
Click on "connect" and it should ask for your security id (the
encryption code). Put in the code (usually twice) and click connect or
OK. It should now be "acquiring anip address" and in a few minutes it should be connected.
