Now we can start to configure wireless router, and I will use linksys WRT54G Wireless Router as an example. This router supports 802.11g and backward compatible with 802.11b standard. The authentications supported are WEP, WPA/WPA2 authentication with pre-shared key or RADIUS server. In case you plan to get a new router, I recommend you to get one of these wireless routers.

Read the router manual before starting 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. 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. 

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.
