How do i change the settings, and what bit do i plugin to the laptop ?

Is it the yellow lead which comes from the router to the back off the pc hard drive ?

if the pc is wired to the router anyway then you can update the router from there

What you are referring to as the hard drive is the base unit. The hard drive is a small box inside the base unit.
Yes, the ethernet cable is the one from the router to the ethernet port on the back of your PC/base unit.

o yes forgot to mention

keep your router away from metal surfaces and cordless phones, such as raiditors and microwaves, they mess arround and degrade the signal, also mobile phones degrade braodband signal(gprs ones)

hope that helps

id turn off wireless and loginto the router, your login details if default ones could be on the bottom of the router, to login into the router you type something like http://192.168.1.1 (its what i use but my router is different to yours so maybe someone could psot the correct address)

into the address bar

The default home page for your router is 192.168.0.1
On the main menu select wireless and change the channel to a number between 1 and 13 (default for that router is probably at 11 at the moment)
