I have just purchased a new wireless router which I need in order to use a laptop in any room in the house. Can anyone please advise me if it is necessary to remove the old router and its software in order to make a clean install of the new router? How can this be done?

Old router: Netgear RP614.
New router: Netgear Wgr614

Unplug the old router.
Plug in the new router.
Configure new router with ISP username/password and wireless security key.
Tell laptop to connect to wireless network and give it the key you set.

That is all. There is no "software" involved, Windows talks to the router automatically, unless you've told it otherwise.
