You would want to check the following: - Your computer's IP address / subnet mask - Your router's IP address / subnet mask (and whether they are in the same subnet with the PC). If you are not sure of the router's IP, most of them have a reset hole you can use to return it to factory settings. Have a look at the manual to see the defaults if you are not sure. When you verify these, you should be able to ping the router from your terminal. Then it is simply a matter of entering the web interface of the router and provide a set of credentials and maybe a few more settings (like PPPoE or PPPoA and so on).
