Steps

3
Now you're at the login screen. The default username is, "cusadmin" and password is, "password". Once you enter your credentials press Enter.
4
Now that you've logged in to the router, you should go to the "Wireless" tab on the left hand side of the screen.
5
Make sure these are set to this setting. First, wireless needs to be enabled. Wireless modem should be set to "11B/G/N Mixed" and channel set to auto.
6
Name your network. In the same tab where it says, "Primary SSID", that is where we are going to input the network name. It can really be anything you want.
7
Add a security password to the network. Now we need to set up some security for the network. There are 3 tabs along the top, the middle one is security, click that.
8
Choose the security type. There are 2 types of security for this router, WEP and WPA-Personal. We'll set it WPA-Personal. Now the other settings are set by default. The only other thing we need to do here is make a password. Pre-shared Key is where the password goes, make it anything you want. Just remember, the easier it is someone could possibly figure it out. Hit apply to set the password.
9
Make your network hidden. This will make your network more secure. Back in the setup tab where we chose the name of the network there is a check box with "hidden" above it. Check the box and now your network is hidden from other people.
10
Connect your device to the network. To be able join it wirelessly you have to search for it in the Connection Manager. In the bottom right hand side of your monitor click on Connection Manager symbol (the one that has signal bars) and chose "Other Network"
11
Type out the network credentials. From there you need to type in the network name and password you chose from earlier.
12
Happy surfing. Now you're connected to your network and it is secure with a password.

You can go buy an ethernet cable from the store and plug it in to the back of you router and to the side of your laptop or back of your desktop. This will connect you to the internet without using WiFi. A telephone cable will not work.
