Installing new router

I just purchased a new router to replace an old one. Before installing it
for my home network do I need to uninstall or do something about the old
installed router or should it be OK to just ignore it (so I can go back to
it if the new one does not work out)?

Hi

You would have to take care of the Broadband authentication.

Cable Internet - http://www.ezlan.net/broadband.html

DSL - http://www.ezlan.net/PPPOE.html

If your computers are set to log and be assigned IP address automatically,
it probably would work at the Router’s Default DHCP.

Otherwise, if your computers are on internal Static IPs, you would to set
the Router’s IP to be on the same subnet as the computers.

No matter what read the manual first.

I just recently moved and got a new DSL modem. I had a cable modem in
my previous home and my dlink router worked great with it and never
gave me problems. Now I am trying to set up the wireless router with
the DSL and the signal keeps getting blocked when I plug in the router.
While trying to set it up, I did notice that the IP address for the
router and the modem are the same. Is that typical or would it cause a
problem?

Hi
The Router's IP should stay the same.
The Modem does Not have an IP, you probably mean the WAN (Internet IP).
The Router configuration has to be changed to DSL connection, the WAN IP
must be different and would obtained from the ISP.
