In that case, should be a straight swap. The router needs to be set to get it's external IP froom the CM, and to serve the connected computers via DHCP, but that's normally the default anyway. AFAIK, if you are on a SACM rather than STB, there's no need to mess around cloning MAC addresses. Don't forget to set up security (WEP, limiting access to defined MAC addresses etc.) If you're not familiar with all that, I'm sure someone will be along with a link shortly.
