most routers have default settings and basic steps to use them are almost always documents on their websites. however in the usual case for linksys the default wireless network ID would be "linksys" so when you browse for wireless networks in range of your pc, the strongest signal named linksys should be yours.
browsing for wireless networks varies depending on the operating system, but since most have windows xp or windows vista right now you generally look at the bottom right hand side, right to the left of the clock and look for a computer with waves coming off of it (xp) or what looks to be a icon of a computer monitor ( which may have a red X next to it if ur not connected via a cable or wireless yet) double click or right click this icon and choose view available wireless networks. then it should be straight forward from there. another approach is to click the start menu icon in the bottom left and look for a connect to option. then choose connect to wireless network. they both get you to the same place.
again it is highly recommended you secure your wireless router either by following the instructions on www.linksys.com or hiring a professional to set it up for you.

To make setup easy, choose a network adapter made by the same vendor that made your wireless router.

If you have a desktop computer, make sure that you have an available USB port where you can plug in the wireless network adapter.
