How to set up the WAX 214

[Bonniew88]

In the past I have purchased three Netgear devices to make my televisions internet ready.  One of them has malfunctioned and I can't get it working so I purchased the WAX214 hoping it will work the same way the others do.  Reading the set up instructions, it says to connect to a wifi computer.  My computer is wired to the wireless modem so it isn't wireless.   Should I connect to an open port on the modem?

I'm very confused and would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.
