Upgrade from MN500 Base Station to MN700

I'm thinking of moving up to 802.11g. I have an
installed wireless network now and it works well (MN500,
MN510) and don't want to mess things up.

Can I simply swap out the 500 base station for the 700 or
is this a major undertaking?

Thanks for the help.

See if

I just did the exact same thing and it took about 20 minutes. Most of that
time was configuring the MN-700 to have the same MAC filtering and port
forwarding. It was basically a swap and everything worked.

Except if you are using loopback in the MN500 -- it does
not work for the MN700
