Replacing Sky Hub

[Tosh+McCaber]

We are about to change our existing older Sky hub, for a new Sky SR203 Sky Hub.

My existing network consists of a Sky hub which connects to 8 different computers, TVs, etc about the house, plus the password has been used by both ourselves and several friends and relatives, to facilitate WiFi in and around the house.

In setting up the new hub, is there a way that I can change the  settings (password etc) when connecting the new modem, to have them the same as the old one?

Any information appreciated!

@Tosh+McCaberIf you are talking about the same Wi-Fi password. Then you can do this and it is an easy process and all the devices should then connect without any issue.

Thank you for your prompt reply, H!  I'll have a look!

Am I right in thinking that I would have to log in to my existing hub set-up on 192.168.0.1,  take note of the existing password on there, then connect the new hub, and change the new hub's password to my original?

Is that all there is to it?  Hopefully??

@Tosh+McCaber  Yes that is all that is to it. Just change the SSID and the password on the new router to what you have on the old router just now and everything should re-connect.  Let the new router do any updates first before trying to login and then you are free to login after it connects to the internet without any issues.

I would do this via an wired connection. This should let you see everything else connect to the router in real time.

Apologies for being a bit thick- but what's the SSID?  and where do I find it? (presumably a number?)

[Highlinder]

@Tosh+McCaber  The name of your Wi-Fi network.

Gotcha, H,

Thanks for all your help- I'll give it a try over the weekend!
