The router will have an IP address that you can type into internet explorer at the address bar and login using the details in the router instructions.

You shouldn't need to run the set up disc. Connecting by ethernet should 'just work' as the PC will see it as a network connection.

So turn off PC and modem.

Connect router to modem

Connect router to PC by ethernet

Turn on modem then router

Finally turn on PC and it should connect.

You can then setup the routers security and set up the wireless on the laptop.
