MK63

We currently have a NETGEAR router in use (M700P). I just purchased the MK63 wifi mesh system. If after hooking it all up, can I go into the settings and change the SSID & passcode to that of what it ...

So I could in a sense change the SSID & Passcode of the MK63 unit to the same one I'm currently using on my old NETGEAR router? Even if it is the one that was assigned on the sticker affixed to the bottom from NETGEAR?
This way I don't have to change everything (i.e Alexa, WEMO, Feit lights, computers, etc)!

  You can use any SSID name that you like. IF you had one from before you can use it. It's recommended to not use the default SSID name on the routers sticker for long term use.
