Log into your router by entering the address
192.168.1.1
into a browser. Usually the password is:
root / admin
but your manual should tell you. Then there should be lots of options you can configure including the broadcast channel and the WEP key.

Follow the directions provided very carefully. They will give you the basic setup which should allow connection. Later you can set up security.

What brand? Give the service team a call over there in India.
