Same here, use same SSID name and password and channels when deploying a new router system. You can have both on at the same time. Disconnect the out going router from the ISP modem and connect up the new one. Power cycle or reboot the ISP Modem/ONT so it can get connected to the new modem. Leave the out going router on and placed aside the new router. Once new router is configured and on line, just turn OFF the out going router. Your devices should auto migrate and connect to the new router. Been doing it like this for a long time. Works great and should help avoid the hassle of having to reconnect wifi devices.
