Router(config)#Copy running-config startup-config
To hook up a Cisco 7200 series router to your network you need to connect the Console and Auxiliary port cables, and then perform a quick configuration. It would be best to follow the quick start guide supplied with the router.
Should you start a Cisco router sans config (as is the case when you first purchase it), then it will not do anything but power on - yet. You must attach a cable to the console port of the router on one end, and the serial port of your computer at the other. This can also be done using a rollover cable to connect the router's console port to your computer's ethernet port. Once connected, you can use HyperTerminal, Cutecom, or another serial communication terminal program to see the console input.output from the router. It will ask you if you would like to enter the initial configuration script. Type yes and work from there!
To save the current running configuration you can use the "copy run start" command. Any configurations that are made on a router will not be saved until you use this command and it will save the current running configuration to the local NVRAM. This configuration will then be used on next startup. To back up we can save the configuration to a remote TFTP server with use of the "copy run tftp" command. Always have a back up plan.

You don't have wireless network cards you have to buy it or you have to get a lan cable(s). After that connect your router to the modem if you have it. And connect all your computers to the router. Usually default settings allow you to work with internet and inside network without any correction of default settings. After that restart your modem (if you have it) and restart your router. Then Start->Run->cmd, press enter. ping (one of your computer's Ips), for instance, ping 192.168.1.3 If it doesn't work out you have to configure DHCP server for your router, but it's already another question.
