Hey guys

I bought a wireless router but somehow the setup manual has been misplaced. It's a Linksys Wireless 2.4 GHz router, I have a mac, my sister has windows, I'm in the house, she's in a cottage about 20 m away from the house - same property. I have the modem etc near my computer, total Noob at this since I've not used wireless before, can anyone here help me set this up ?
 
Connect to the router via a network cable, Open a web browser, connect to 192.168.1.1.
Username: admin and password is the same.

Click on wireless. There you can set your SSID and password. Use WPA or WPA2 personal.
 
You can probably find a manual for your router on the internet. Might save some pain.

Also, while the default username and password are admin, that's something you'll want to change very quickly - or you'll be vulnerable to all sorts of drive-by mayhem.
