Read the router manual before starting to configure it. This is useful for you to understand the router features and how to configure it. If the manual is not came together with router, you can download it from vendor website.
Also register your product at vendor website if possible. You will be notified of firmware update, security alert and also product related information. Open your popular web browser (Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape Communicator), then type http://192.168.1.1 and press "Enter". This IP address is factory default IP assigned to the router, you will be able to find it in wireless router manual. Thats why I said its important to read the manual. You need to set computer with the IP sits in the network same as wireless router, so you can only access and configure it. In this scenario, I set computer IP as 192.168.1.10 (you can set 192.168.1.X, X= number between 2 and 254), netmask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.1.
After that, the logon screen will pop up, type in default user and password you found in router manual also. You will then log on to the router web-management page. Here are the router settings that similar to wired network router. WAN (Wide Area Network) Setting

wireless client with 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network adapter can join the network. Wireless Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the network name of this wireless network and must be identical for all devices in the network. When wireless clients first start up, they scan the wireless frequency band for special beacon frames that content SSID sent by wireless routers or access points, finally connect to the network that preferred by users. SSID is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters. Change it and dont use default SSID due to security concern. I set it as home-network. Wireless Channel - There are 13 wireless channels (1-13) supported. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly. I select 13. Wireless SSID Broadcast - If you enabled this feature, the router will broadcast SSID and would be detected by wireless clients in the network. For security concern, I would recommend you to disable it.

Since my wireless network card can support WPA2, I use following setting.
You don't have to follow all settings I used above, you can also tune the wireless router as according to your needs. One last thing that I would like to tell you, if you wish to connect all home computers to access to Internet via this router, please select Gateway mode in Setup->Advanced Routing page and save the setting. If another router exists on your network, then you can select Router mode.
If you plan to have wired connection from computer to this router, check out this article to get it done quickly. If not, proceed to check articles below to configure wireless adapter.
