Okay so you have a modem? With a coax cable plugged into it from the wall? Then all you have to do is plug an ethernet cable into the modem, the other end in "Internet" on the router and plug your PC into a port under "switch)

I have done that. but I still don't get internet access. still gives me a error. Should I factory reset and start over?

No

Do you expect it to do the work for you? Get off your ass and do your own research or go find a config example, go do a ccna course but don't come here with a device that requires more knowledge than the average ltt viewer has and expect us to hand you the answers. 

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed.

How do get the config to paste here? (sorry I'm really a noob) 

Find the page for the router on the Cisco site, under downloads there is a configuration guide

No - unfortunately it is fair enough - Cisco routers are expensive for a reason, to keep Cisco's expensive ecosystem stable. If they were simple to configure and didn't need a certification then people like myself wouldn't be able to charge what we do to configure them for customer sites. Cisco like Aruba, Juniper and many more are enterprise pieces of kit meaning they require a special skill set to use. If you're a novice buying one then you treat it as a learning experience - that's why most people you see buying older Cisco kit are probably doing CCNA.

If I use the "Example config" that cisco gives us will that work or do I still need to configure it?

How do you know he's going to get a CCNA certificate? When I got my first router and switch I had no idea what to do. I got help from the internet, I got help. Once I understood the basics, I did all the work on my own. It's not very helpful to push people away and tell them in rude and mean way. If I came up to you and asked for help, you replied back with a rude comment I would leave and won't engage at all. Being helpful is what we need on this community forum, not negativity.

Yes - by default a Cisco router willl ship with zero config and you need to connect to them via serial to even enable things like Telnet. This here should assist: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/1800/1801/software/configuration/guide/scg/routconf.html

No I completlely understand that however I also understand Lego's frustration as there have been a number of threads from this user regarding this and many users before him have been of the mentality whereby they just demand people to give them the answers. If we point someone in the right direction rather than giving them the exact answer, they'll learn: Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life.

Have you configured a WAN interface, DHCP for the LAN interface, NAT & PAT, DNS?

 

Also clear the config you've already done and follow that link I sent you.
