Depends on the router, but most usually use either a web browser via http, or other communications program via the telnet protocol.  If you're router supports http, merely open your browser and type http://<router ip address>, ex: http://192.168.1.1. \n\nVia telnet, you can use the Hyperterminal program that comes with Windows and open a telnet connection, again using the IP address of your router. Once connected, you may need to hit the Enter key a few times to 'wake up' the router console.\n\nIn the worst case, you may need to connect your computer to a serial port on the router and follow the Hyperterminal example to pull up the console.\n\nYou should then be prompted for a login ID and password.\n\nGood luck

connect to the router using a computer that is already connecting to the router...i.e. computer connected wiredly. usually...depending on the router...you connect using web browser...and in the address type in 192.168.0.1 and it should connect to your router...then set up the router to send wireless signals for your computer to connect wirelessly. Then on your computer, search for access point and connect...and there you go your connected

if the router has an web interface you can configure it by connecting it via a utp cable to your computer and using youre browser. If it doesn't have one you nhave to configure it from console (usually you connect to the router via a serial port). Read the instructions that come with your router

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

My DSL required a router to be connected between the line and computer through a LAN port. There should be instructions and maybe even software to help you install.

Best way is to log into the router, when you are plugged in via cable you can go to start run and type cmd this will bring you to a dos prompt then you can type ipconfig /all look for the ip address of your gateway then type this into the address bar on internet explorer. Depending on the router you will need a username and password to login with then you should be able to go to the wireless network options. I would reccomend mac address filtering and perhaps wpa if support if not then at least enable wap

First off, set up your router. Plug it in. From your cable or dsl modem, take the plug that goes to your computer and plug it into the port that says INTERNET (or something to that effect). You are now ready to hook other computers up to your router.\n\nWhen you hook your computers up, they should find the internet just fine. Your router should supply them automatically with an ip address which is assigned by the router. If they do not find the internet, first reboot them and try again. If they still don't find the internet, you might have to do the following: START > CONTROL PANEL> NETWORK CONNECTIONS.  In the GENERAL tab, look at the box under "This connection uses the following items: and make sure that INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) is present. If it isn't, then you will need to click on  INSTALL and select PROTOCOL then select INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP). Then select the INTERNET PROTOCOL and right click on it. Select PROPERTIES and click the button that says Automatically connect to the internet (or words to that effect). You should then be set to use your router with multiple computers.

if you are using windowsXP's built-in firewall, it doesn't offer much functionality. \n\n1-If you have an internal or USB modem, install another firewall (but not zonealarm) and try port blocking.\n2-If you are behind a router, or a modem which is connected to your computer via an ethernet cable, check your router's manual and type the console's IP in your browser, follow the instructions on the manual to port blocking.
