You should be able to log on to it just like any other router! The key thing you will need will be:

Password to connect, and which type (you should use WPA-2 Personal for best security)

OK, first off no need to SHOUT!

1. Are you trying to connect to with a Desktop or Notebook?

2. Make and Model please!

3. Whilst in Windows, can you tell us the make and model of the Wireless chip/Ethernet Card - it is not easy to tell whether you are having wireless or cable issues - please advise so we can help you!
