Hi:
Currently, I have the following Router, 'NetGear Wireless-G Router' that
was rented by
my ISP, Comcast.
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/GWirelessRouters/WGR614.aspx

However, I want to replace it to the following router, 'Linsky Wireless-G
Router with Speed
Booster.' Because, one of computer has Vista and I want to get more
speed. There are three
more PCs and Laptop, all of which has XP-Home Edition.

My question is;
Is it possible for me to switch from Netgear to Linsky on my own?
The reason I'm asking is that Netgear was installed upon subscribing my
ISP and professionally installed by
ISP-technician. Then, I never done it, although I did replace wireless
adapter to Linsky Speed-booster on the
back of PC with Vista.

If possible, what step and precaution should I take before proceeding ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Surely you mean a Linksys Wireless Router with Speed Boost. You can
definitely create a network with the Linksys router to connect to other
manufacturer's computer adapters.

Unless your target computer also has a Linksys Wireless Adapter with Speed
Boost, the router will disable speed boost.
