Jerry,
I'd be surprised if you even had to work as hard at it as Bill is suggesting. Hardly any company is making network hardware that doesn't respond to an ordinary web browser.
All you need is the device's IP address to plug into your location bar (e.g. http://192.168.1.1) and viola! you are into the setup.
Also, I can't imagine having an "always on" connection to the internet without a hardware firewall. I'm using a Linksys unit that is totally transparent from my end but isolates all six systems in my house from being probed from without. A typical unit will only run about $40 - $60, and the peace-of-mind is priceless.

Once it is set up, you can plug anything into the Ethernet port. Borrow a windows laptop and set it up, then return the laptop.
