I am not sure about that specific router, but all routers are usually accessable through their IP Address… If you are using Windows, on your keyboard, Hold the Windows button and press ‘R’ to open the run prompt… Depending on the version of Windows you are using, you would either type in ‘cmd’ or ‘command’. That will open command prompt… Now, you want to type ‘ipconfig /all’. That will give a list of all the networking hardware attached to your computer and list the IP Address of that piece of hardware… If your Router is hooked up to your computer with an ethernet cable, you want the LOCAL AREA CONNECTION’s IP Address… It should be something like: 192.168.0.1 Type the number you get into a web browser (i.e. Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer) in the address bar (the place you would type myspace.com in…) That should take you to the router’s settings page… Hope that helps!
There’s probably no "easy" way to set it up. Normally you need to use a console cable for the initial setup. That’s not a job for the inexperienced.
Most if not all of the 800 series routers are past their End-of-Life with Cisco so you’re very limited on the help that you can get from them.
Some have a web interface installed, either CRWS or SDM but you’ll often need to use a console cable to tell which one is installed especially if the DHCP server service has been disabled on it.
Beyond that, go the the Cisco website and search on the specific 800 series model that you have for more specific information.
