i have a question once again like usual,

i currently have one usb port occupied by my wireless router
i have it installed and it works, etc

my question is, if i remove the wireless router from that one port, and move it to a usb port i have in the back just for organizational purposes, will that usb port in the back recognize the wireless router automatically? or will i have to go through driver installation procedures just like i did with the usb port on the front?
