Setup Router on replacement computer

I have a network of 2 computers at home. The network was set up by my son.
He is not available right now to help. I am using D-Link system. I have the
CD's and user guides. I am needing to replace the conputer that has the
wireless router attached. This computer does not have the CD drive working.
What I am wondering is how do I go about setting up the wireless router on
the new computer? Do I need to run the CD or can the Windows Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard transfer the needed settings from old computer to
new? If the Wizard will do this is there anything special I need to know to
accomplish this?

If the wireless router is working, there is nothing you need to do.
Attach the new computer to the router with ethernet just like the old
one was connected. You've already set the router up; you don't need to
do it again.
