My main PC (Windows 7/Dell) died with a hard drive failure.

It will be replaced in a couple of days.

  

I have all of the login information for my M1424WR fios wireless router that I set up and configured using that computer.

 

What do I need to do when I get the new computer?

 

I have the network cable (leading to the router) unplugged.

Do I just plug it into the new computer?

  



If you are using a wired Ethernet connection, then yes, all you need o do is plug in the network cable.  No login or passwords are used with Ethernet.

 

If you are using WiFi, you'll setup a WiFi connection on your new computer.  You'll need your WiFi password to connect, but that should be all.

 

Good luck and I hope you have a good backup!
