Hi folks, now im not the best when it comes to computers so please be easy on me! I agreed to go wireless so i could put my pc in another room away from my cable modem, but i just dont have a clue how to set it up. I have a sumvision broadband router, ethernet cable and a usb dongle. Anyone care to give me an idiot guide step by step procedure on how to get it up and running. Ive also lost the pamphlet that come with the router. Ooops! Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED! thanks

802.11b/g compliant is the standard it follows, we want to know the actual make and model of the router, like mine is made by Linksys and is a WRT54G.

Can you find us that info so we can help furthur?

my manual has been misplaced, cant find it anywhere, is there a default ip address? and what do you mean with passwords?

Physically pick up your router, look underneath for stickers, numbers printed on to the unit it's self, should tell you what model number your router is.

You can then google for the manual and get all the info you need.
