I have a Linksys router but this should be the same.

Steps:

1) check what your default gateway is (click start --> run --> cmd --> ipconfig)
2) Copy down the Default Gateway address xxx.xx.x.x
3) Open EI and type in http://xxx.xx.x.x
4) Password window will pop up, just press ok since its blank.
5) Go into setup and make necessary changes.

If this doesn't work, let us know and I am sure someone with a similar router will help

login with default as listed in the manual (admin for the username, password is blank, I think)

click "tools" tab at the top

type whatever you want for the admin password, then type it again to confirm.

click apply

router may reboot and you'll have to log in again.

click on "wireless" tab on left side

change SSID to whatever you want to call your wireless broadcast.
