Good luck! :)

all routers work the same basic way. you connect a pc using a LAN cable to the router. You open a web browser and type in the IP address of the router. this is usually 192.1681.1 or 192.168.0.1 , but occasionally can be something else. its usually printed on a label stuck to the router. Once you get that right a login screen will appear and you must use the login user/password (admin,admin or admin,password is often used) which should also be printed on the router underside. Then the router will present a menu to you, and somewhere on there will be the wifi setup. they are all slightly different so refer to your manual or just use your common sense.

When you search for available wifi connections, do you find several routers? Other routers could be taking your bandwidth. There is a 802.11 protocol which establishes what channels routers can take, but this can be hacked, If you're in an apartment building, you may have this issue. Connecting by cable will fix it.

I think you have forgotten your router password and want to reset it. There must be a reset button on the back side of your router, which can be pressed with help of a hair pin or some pointed object. While the router is powered on, press the "reset" button and keep it pressed for more than 20 seconds (depends on your router specification). For my router I hold it pressed for 1 minute.The all your settings will be set to "factory reset", including your password. Usually factory reset password is "password" (it is true for my Netgear router). For your case the default password might have been printed on lower side of router. You may now choose to change the password by connecting the router directly connecting it to your laptop and accessing the admin console of the router. Hope this helps.

Try to insert the cable of the router at the back of your pc do not use the router so that you can now play and download files
