Open Firefox and type in the IP address of your router in the address bar. Once the page loads, there will probably be a tab called "WIFI" or "Wireless" or something similar where you can set up the SSID, password, etc.
If you don't know the IP address of your router, type the "route" command from a terminal window and look for the Gateway's ip address. Most commonly it is 192.168.1.1

Actually, it was easier than that. It's a WiFi extender, and all I had to do was go to their website and click on a setup file. I thought I was going to read about it, but it set the extender up for me. It was pretty nice.
