Right unplug the modem form the power then plug in the ethernet cable into the modem then into the wan port on the router. Then plug the router using a ethernet cable into the computer and turn on the modem 1st, when its fired up turn on the router, then turn on the pc.

After that follow then netgear instructions to access the page on the router 192.168.1.1 or something similar.

Don't think there much to change there but make sure you have a ssid set something memorable and that you have security off for now. ( needs turning on after you get it all working).

Some routers have wireless turned of as standard so check this is not the case.

After you have this sorted you should have internet to the pc. you can then try the wireless which should also connect.
