  My uncle is setting up a small company. He has bought 3 computers and wants these 3 computers to connect to the Internet wirelessly.
  
  I bought a Linksys router and modem, and 3 ethernet cables.
  
  How do I set up?

  Modem setup is similar, just that the LAN cable will be plugged into the router. Since the computers are surfing wirelessly, there'll only be 2 wires connected to the router, one LAN cable to modem and one power cable. The modem will have 3 as usual, one power cable, one LAN cable to router and one to the television that kind of plug, dunno what you call that.

  1. Plug in power cables into router and modem
  
  2. LAN Cable connect one end to modem, the other end to the router. Plug into the connection that says "Connection to Modem" or something along that line. The connection is usually seperated from the other LAN inputs.
  
  3. Make sure your internet modem is connected to the TV output from the wall. The wire ends should be circular with a pin in the middle.
  
  4. Once everything is done, you should be able to surf wirelessly straight away. To access the control panel of the router, check the router's manual, which should tell you the default address of the control panel.
