Help with home network setup

[mattyj1085]

At the moment with have an ADSL Dlink DI604 router with my PC connected to it by RJ45 cable.

I have a TP link 54M Wireless ADSL2+ router (model no TD-W8910G) but never managed to get it working at my grandads. On the back of the router is a line connection that goes to the net and 4 RJ45 ports.

Do i just need to plug in the line cable and use a wireless USB adapter on my computer to access the net?

In the 'Quick setup' it shows a pc connected by RJ45. Isnt this a bit pointless for 'Wireless' ? then there are another 7 steps that say about changing VPI, VCI values amongst stuff like PPPoE mode, subnet masks and SSIDs!

What is 'it'? Do you mean set the wireless router up for adsl

ok, thanks. Though before i gave it the username and password. I remember reading on forums for networking somewhere that I needed to change VPI and VCI values or something. Anyway, ill give it another go as soon as we find the power connection for the router.
