My friend gave me his router, but it doesn't work on my network.

Quick fix: If you happen to inherit a previously used router, you most likely won't be able to connect it to your broadband connection and just start using it. The best way to set up a previously configured router is to reset it back to factory default (usually by pressing the reset button underneath or on the back of the router). You can then check the router manufacturer's website to find out the default IP address, username and password or download any available set up software to configure the router for your network.
