How do I connect my existing Netgear Router to a new computer?
Wired is best.
If you look at the manual, there is a diagram on page 5. (That's the copy I downloaded.) "Getting to Know Your Wireless Router".
Plug a LAN cable into the computer and the other end into one of the orange LAN sockets.
Otherwise, follow the computer's instructions for connecting by wifi.

You can connect by wire or look up the wifi from the computer and connect to it.
