How do I add my linksys wireless router to my embarq 660 series modem?

Question

My embarq 660 series modem is connected to my desktop but I want to add my wireless so I can also use my laptop while keeping the desktop hooked up to the modem.

Answer 1

Run the cat 5 cable from the modem to the input port on your router. Unplug the power from your modem for a few seconds then plug it back in. Wait for your modem to lock on completely, then plug in the router. When the router locks on, set up your wireless connection. Make sure it is a secure connection so no one can steal your signal.

Answer 2

attach the linksys to the modem, then plug in an ethernet cable into one of the 4 ports in the back of the linksys and plug the other end into the desktop and then connect wirelessly to the laptop
