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.
Yes, missed the last part of his post where he said he had a Linksys, and you are probably right, now that I think about it; I prefer to avoid Migration Assistant when moving to a new Mac, and based on the same logic, I should not recommend migrating settings from old router to new router. What I was thinking off this morning when I posted???
