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!
