Rogers internet + Router help?

[echootje]

Here's the situation my friend has purchased a router (specs and make forthcoming) in order to connect both of his puter's to his Rogers service...

How the hell does he set this up??

I assumed a hub would be more suitable but who knoz?

If it's a linksys/d-link/smc/similar router made for cable/dsl connections..

You plug the rj45 cable from the cable modem into the WAN port.
Plug the cables from the computers into LAN ports.

Done.

Tell him to read the instructions.
It takes about 2 minutes to set up.

or less. christ. unless he bought totally the wrong thing, like i did the first time because the guy at futureshop was an idiot.

i knew what i wanted, he insisted what he was pushing on me was it, i was in hurry and took his word for it. he was totally wrong (he had grabbed the wrong box off the shelf - i wanted the one beside it).
