Fred,

You shouldn't have to do anything to the unused Linksys router.  Just hook 
up the new router just as you had connected the old router and plug in the 
power and it should be good to go.  The port that connects to your cable or 
dsl modem is usually separated from the other ports going to your computers.
 If your not doing any WIFI, you don't have to set up any passwords, but at 
some point, I would change the default router password which makes it mor 
difficult for your router to get hacked.

Subject: OT LYNKSYS Computer Router


I have three computers networked together by a LYNKSYS router using Cat 5
cable.  I purchased a new LYNKSYS router about a year ago and never used it
as I have not had the confidence to program it.  I know that some of you
guys have done this and I would like to know if it is something I can do
myself or should I get a sighted person?  I have had my old router for many
years and I believe it needs replacing. I would appreciate any help on this.
I read on the innernet that there is a reset button on the back of the
router and I would like to know if this may improve my computer reception
using the old router.  You can contact me off the list if you desire as some
may not want to read the responses..

Best wishes,
