Fibre 65

I had the above service installed today, but I do not have any WiFi connection between the new router and my desktop. I do however have WiFi connection to my smart phone. My computer runs on Firefox and I would be grateful if anyone could provide me with some advice as to how overcome this WiFi problem.

Your computer does not "run" on Firefox, that is just an internet browser. You need to check your network settings in order to connect the computer to the router.

Sorry about my terminology, but I'm not highly computer literate. I have tried to to connect to my new router via settings (I had hoped that the router would automatically make itself "known", but this does not seem to be the case. Any advice as to what exact steps I need to take?

Not without knowing the exact specification of your desktop. The router does make itself "known" as you say, which I presume it has done to your other devices. Which operating system are you using?

My operating system is Ubuntu.

Or try Google? I had a quick look and found what seem to be a lot of helpful pointers.
