1. Remove the modem's Ethernet cable from your computer and plug it into the Internet or LAN port on the wireless router. Your computer will be able to connect to the Internet via a wireless network adapter card or built-in wireless support.
2. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to disable the new router's DHCP function. Instructions are found in the wireless router's manual.
3. Shut down the computer and unplug the DSL modem for at least 30 seconds to 'power-cycle' or restart the Internet connection.
4. Plug the modem back in and turn on the computer. You should be able to connect to the Internet. You'll need to navigate to the manufacturer's configuration website to complete the wireless installation.
5. Go to the website provided in your wireless router manual and enter the username and password given. Change your SSID (network name), then set your encryption passphrase and administrative password.
