[Ham-Computers] Router Question

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Joe,

Most routers are plug and play unless you use some custom software. The 
purpose of the router is to pass data to and from the modem for each 
computer connected. It is basicaly like a 2 way repeater.

I am using a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. (802.11g/2.4GHZ). Someone else 
installed
my local network as I know very little about networks. Recently the router 
has had to
be "reset" to continue internet service. My ISP says if this occurs often I 
will need to replace my router. My question: If I purchase a new router and 
plug all the cables into it will it start functioning on its own or do I 
have to know how to "program" (for lack of a better word) it to make it 
function properly? Thank for any help and 73 de Joe/W6RLL.
