whats the router model..?
anyway..
installation will be easy.. follow u r router manual that came with the router box.

usually they will provide a installation CD use that..

and set WPA2 encryption in router settings..

u could have just done some googling... atleast give a try..

basically u need to connect u r modem out to the internet port of the router. and connect u r pc to another port on the router with the same type cable(ethernet RJ45).

then open u r browser and type *192.168.0.1 or *192.168.1.1
with username and password as admin. rest follow the installation guide..


here is the installation guide..

The first time you connect to the router the windows system will help you configure it automatically.
