...and your local devices will probably be OK as they are probably set up to use DHCP, which means they get their own IP addresses from the router. But it's conceivable that the new router isn't set to to serve DHCP (they usually are, out of the box) or you may have a device which has a static IP - which, if it isn't the same subnet as the router, will fail to join the network.
Some routers have subnets of 192.168.1.xx abd some have 192.168.1.xx
So, if you have probs with anything not wanting to join the network that's probably the cause.
