Here it is fast and dirty.
Connect Cable modem to cable connection.
Connect Wireless router to Cable Modem.
Any computer you want to connect wirelessly needs to have either a built in wireless adapter or an external adapter, such as a USB Dongle, CardBus card or a PCI card.

It's really easy just double click the wirelss icon in the bottom and select your wireless network or network with the strongest signal strength usually. one you have done this you can type 192.168.1.1 in the browser and configure the various settings in the router you need to know the router's default password for this. This depends on the router's model, use google or hit me back with the model number.

If you have a router you call the manufacturer and they will walk you thru it.
