Upgrading my Router to Sky 4.2

Hi all I have been advised to upgrade my Router to Sky 4.2 as my current one will be unsupported at the end of the year. I have received the new equipment and the new Router has a different WiFi Password to my current one. Will I have to change the settings on all my linked household gadgets (Nest, TV, PC etc) to the new code or can I keep the current one?

That is up to you but when I did this I just used the new Wifi password so had to set up my devices again. To keep it as it is you will need to login to the hub and change both the nework name and Wifi password to what it was before.

Horses for courses I guess. I've been using the same SSID & password for around 10 years & probably a dozen different routers.
