Non Plusnet Router Instal

I have a Voyager 105 USB ADSL modem on a Windows XP system.
I want to connect to a wired router for a Homeplug set up to also use my Vista o/s laptop.
I have two wired routers available to me, a NetgearDG834 with modem, or a Netgear RP614.
How do I connect? Do I use the existing Usb modem and get a female usb/ethernet conversion plug?
Do I use the computer ethernet connection to the modem router, and if so how do I set up the modem, configuration?
How do I configure the Vista laptop which has an internal modem?
I tried connecting the Voyager to the laptop for a direct internet connection just to download a firewall and anti virus but the Voyager set up would not download, not Vista friendly perhaps as it's an old modem.
Should I be trying to configure the laptop modem instead, and if so how?
Lots of questions there.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

I've followed the instructions to here and clicked the link but then I get a Netgear pages which state the message that 'this URL is not supported/recognised by netgear' and a link to netgear support.
So presently I can connect to the internet via the router but the connection is not properly configured as it stops half way through the set up wizard.
Further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

Is it new and unused?
You don't have to use the "wizard" to do a basic setup.
It should ask for a user name - answer "admin"
Password is "password" (without the quotes!)

Thank you for your replies both of which were helpful.
The unit is new but I failed to install the first time after nearly completing the whole process manually.
This is a second attempt and pressing re-set has helped however I'm now using the wizard and the wizard is asking me for:-
IP address - 192.168.0.1 ?
IP Subnet Mask?
Gateway IP Address?
Primary DNS 212.159.13.49 ?
Secondary DNS 212.159.50 ?
I can't proceed without completing all these
Also I'm unsure of
VPI identifier and VCI parammeters?
Multiplexing method
Host and Domain names, (unsure of what this means)
ISP domain name server DNS address
Fixed or static IP address (server assigned?)
Much of this info seems not specified on the Plus Net page for manual configuration.
Thanks
Eric
