I came from an Asus 5300, and I kept that primary SSID/password when I switched to Orbi. I have a couple of iPhones (SE and 6S) and an older Macbook Air, plus a variety of HA tools (Honeywell RedLink, SmartThings hub, Hue hub, Harmony hub, Google Home x5) - all have worked very smoothly on Orbi and the "old" SSID.
The only consistent glitch I have with the Orbi is whenever I need to reboot it (firmware update, etc)... It always takes a few reboot cycles to finally "catch" and fully connect to the interwebs. I've had this issue with both v12 and v26 of the firmware. But if that's the worst thing I have to live with for this router, I'll very happily do it!! :)
