i would really appriciate the help..i tried hooking it up..biut i don't get no internbet neither on my my desktop nor my laptop..
Are the computers wireless or cabled? Does windows show that you're connected? Can you access one computer from the other? If you know your router's IP address, type it in your browser - do you get a configuration page pop up?
If it's just internet you can't get chances are you just need to log in to your router and configure it properly.
You don't install drivers for routers - they conform to the same, standard network protocols that your PC and laptop need to conform to. So, in simple terms, they don't need any other software to tell them how to do it.

Ya, pretty much everything he just said . . . you shouldn't have to install software, to my knowledge.Are the computers wireless or cabled? Does windows show that you're connected?

The CD's don't have anything to do with it. The settings are already correct in the old router -- that's why it works. You could hook it up, look at the settings in it, and copy them to the new router.
Some ISP also will only allow their modem to pass the interent to specific MAC addresses. So it's possible they have the old router MAC on file instead of the new one.
