Hello BJ,
My previous router was a net gear 3500N. I had absolutely no problem connecting that one either. Worked really good till a few months ago. I guess the modem keeps all the settings and since I did not unplug it and remove the cables, it kept the old settings without refreshing and picking up the settings of the new router. I am sure that had this new router been my first, it would have installed without a hitch as well.
I am extremely happy with it. No more sluggish connections. :)
