Straight swap, but you would need to log into the router and reconfigure your SSID and security.

One thing I noticed with a setup almost like yours is my laptops showed limited signal strength with the SSID broadcast turned off but would connect fine so I would be interested to see how you get on. I actually leave the broadcast on and restrict access based on MAC address

Word of warning there is no SNMP support built into the router using the standard firmware (even the latest BETA release!) - I am using a 3rd party firmware in order to use monitoring software (PRTG)
