to CF

Should be very little you need to do, pretty much Plug & Pray

I'm going to assume it's a SACM!

First step is to make sure a wired connection is working -

Turn off SACM and leave for 30 secs.
Turn SACM back on
Plug RJ45 from Linksys WAN port(maybe called diff, but separate from other 4 ports) into Enet port on SACM
Turn on Router
Plug RJ45 from a PC/Laptop into Port 1 on Router.

Try browsing to www.bbc.co.uk or anywhere else you want.

If that works browse to 192.168.1.1 (default Linksys mgmt page), password admin (iirc).

If the wired connection is working you just need to turn on wireless (the Linksys guide should help here) and make it secure. (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/kb/78/ho...reless-network or http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=8435) I would suggest changing the SSID at this point from the default 'Linksys'.

Once Wireless is turned on, you should be able to use the other laptop wirelessly to browse.
