Use an ethernet cable to connect the router to the WAN, then use a browser to go to 192.168.1.1, enter the default username and password (admin, password is used by Netgear a lot, but you can always google the default for your router) and then use the firmware to set the router up the way you want it.
What is the brand and model number of the router? Often the manufacturer will have a program you can download to guide you through setup.
@jaytkay has a point. I was assuming you had no installation CD, but you can always download one and burn it.
Have you downloaded all the correct drivers for your wireless router?
@BlockStar22 Make sure your cable modem is hooked-up, take the cord that says ETHERNET and plug it into the back of your wireless router it will probably say INTERNET or ETHERNET.
After that do what @dpworkin said and make a password lock so only you can get into your wireless internet.
Okay and what I do next? cause I have to hook both way in a different room .
you should already have a signal, check by using your wireless laptop or other wireless device.
okay, I will connect them. hold on.
okay their both connected.
i can see the connection but i can’t connect it.
i’m connected, but now i want to put a password on it.
This should work what @dpworkin said
