Replacing a router behind a modem requires a network reboot.
As this is a router, there is probably a modem sitting in front of it. You need to get the devices to forget any inherited settings. Among other things, that means rebooting the network.

- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
