New Router. Quick way to connect 25 plus things

I've been told to log into your new router's admin settings and change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password to match your old router's name and password

 

How do I know the passwords????

It should printed on the hub itself and it is also on the card that came with it.

It's not the individual passwords.

 

To make a move to a new hub easier, often people change the WiFi SSID (e.g. SKY3865TY) and the WiFi password to the same one the old hub used. All devices will then automatically reconnect.

@kerryb12 I have been doing this for years and Inhoavecforgotten which old  Sky hub the details came from which are currently connecting my devices to my third party WiFi. If you have lost thecdetails most devices like a phone can show you the WiFi passwordvthey are using. Remember to changecboth the SSID (network name) and ghe password on hour new hub.
