Answer 1

Set it up like you would with normal DSL.

1. Run the cat 5 (standard networking cable) from the DSL RJ45 jack in your wall, to the back of your router in the spot labeled "Internet".

2. Then after ensuring that you have your power cables plugged in (and 3 lights are on on your router),

3. make sure your wireless card in plugged into your computer (make sure your computers off).

4. Then turn on your computer. It'll read the router and hook you up to the net.

5. Go to Start

6. Run

7. CMD

8. type ipconfig

9. look at your ip address

10. Open your web browser and type in http://your.ip.address.here

11. That will bring up your router, and from here you can configure it.

enjoy.

Answer 2

Connect to the router with an ethernet cable (just like you did before the whole wireless thing). Depending on your router you will need to type in an address in Internet Explorer. Try either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 you should then get a box that comes up requesting a username and password. The username should be admin, and the password will either be blank (meaning nothing in the box) or it could be admin, as well. Once logged into the router you will be able to use the "network wizard" or some sort of wizard program that they have on the page that you're on.

After the wizard is done then remove the ethernet cable and bring up your wireless card, which should be on the lower right of the screen, in order to connect to a wireless network. NOTE: if you entered a password during the "wizard" then you'll have to enter it here before you will be able to connect.
