Hi, All the routers provides browser interface to configure it. You can configure your router right from your browser. For your router URL, check with its user manual as different vendor may have different address. Eg. 192.168.0.1 Then for configuration details you need to contact your ISP and get the same. Enter those details in your router config window. I hope this is useful to you.
to setup your Linksys router, just make sure that the router is connected to the network and has a DSL modem connected to it where you get your internet. Then make sure that the PC you will use is connected to the router. Then visit http://192.168.1.1 and you will be brought to your router's setup web page.
