Download instructions from here. However, briefly hook up the 2 computers to any 2 of the 4 sockets that are grouped together. Hook up the 5th port to the modem input. Then read chapter 5 of the user guide, which will explain how to set up the router.
I just noticed what news group we're in, I hope you realize this is not a wireless router. You will have to use cables for both computers.
