You just unplug the old one. Normally you can log into the router from a browser and set the connection username and password. The documentation with the router should tell you the IP address for the browser to connect. You will need the username and password from your provider.

However the connection problem may not have been with the router. It could be the Ethernet port on your computer in wihich case you won't be able to log into either the old or the new router.
