How do I transfer my IoT devices from a Linksys router to the Netgear XR1000?
The XR1000 was not in the list.
Good day,
I have the Linksys wrt1900AC, about 20 IoT devices installed on Google home, laptop and desktop and a repeater. Recently I added IPTV with an Android box. My ISP is Xplornet.
All devices works well except for the IPTV. I have to reset the modem and the router 3 times a day.
I bought the Netgear XR1000 thinking it might offer better functionnality and more stable.
Before doing the switch: All my devices are logged on the linksys wit the linksys network name and WiFi password.
I was thinking to configure the Netgear router with the same Linksys name and password...will it work? Will the switch be transparent?
Thank you for your help...

Thank you.- As above, yes that should work just fine
Thank you all.
...most of my IoT WiFi LED light, outlet switches etc...works fine after the transfer. Only the Google mini and the Google display lost the network connection. I had to re-enter the same SSID and password.
It was minimum effort. Thank you
