No wireless on new Thomson?

Could do with a little help guys.  I am ok with computers wireless etc. but I have just set my dad up a couple of days ago on Plusnet broadband for the first time.  He has been sent the wireless 4 port Thomson router.  Finally we got it going, but there is no wireless signal.  The light isn't on and I don't detect it.  there is a little push button switch on he front, but that doesn't seem to work.  Does it come set to 'off' by default?  I looked at the menu, but for some reason on my dads monitor, running at 1024 x 768 the router config screen is tiny, miniscule in fact!  I can't read anything! are there some settings to activate.  The set up leaflet implies it is already running and ready to log into?

Have you tried pushing  the button for about 5 to 10 seconds - ?

Re: No wireless on new Thomson?

I set up a Thomson router supplied by Plusnet last Friday.  The wireless was already running and ready to log into.
