PROBLEM OF THE FORTNIGHT
Can I keep SSID and password from my old router when buying a new one?
Q I’m struggling to find a clear answer on a particular point regarding the upgrade of my router. In my house we have loads of devices connected to the Wi-Fi, from PCs, tablets and phones to smart speakers and even a solar-panel system. My idea, when purchasing a new router, was to change the SSID (see screenshot) and password to those of the old router – meaning I wouldn’t need to spend a lot of time going around the house having to reconnect our numerous existing devices.
