just turn everything on and it will work just fine. edit - maybe not since you got a netgear. 🙂 seriously, just plug everything in and it should be enough to get you on the interweb, you can worry about security later. That little booklet that came with the product should be a good start to showing you how to hook everything up. ---

Listen to the Redneck… He is right. Also, you may need t power cycle everything… including the modem after it is all hooked together. Power up starting at the wal and working towards the laptop. Make sure each one if fully powered up before powering up the next one. ---
