I have a home network that uses a cable modem (from the Cable company) and a router (mine). I want to replace the router because it frequently decides it needs to be rebooted. My friend gave me his relatively new, and quite dependable, wireless router. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the installation CD that came with it. I understand that I can manually install and set up the ‘new’ router.
I’m not really well versed in this sort of stuff, so my question is this:
If I disconnect my current router, and am unsuccessful in installing/setting up the replacement, will I be able to merely re-connect the old one and be back in business, or will I have to go through the setup process for the old one? Is there any way I could mess up so that neither router works?
