I seem to recall that some routers have the option to download all settings as a file to a computer. I am not 100% sure if Apple routers have this option (I think they do). If that is the case, and if you currently have an older version of Apple Airport Router, see if this works. After you upload the settings to the new router, you may need to make some changes, but most other stuff (SSID, passwords, any other rules you may have set up) should work.
It's an old Linksys. Even still, depending on the age gap, I wouldn't migrate settings from an older Airport to a newer model. Still likely necessary to tweak the settings anyway (features gained and/or features lost between models) and a fresh setup is likely easier.
I don't know much about router settings. With the Linksys, aside from assigning a gateway address and LAN name, the only thing I ever did was set the security level (WPA2) and password. I'll have to learn about features that come with the Airport, I guess. Doesn't sound like I need to create a new LAN, though.
