As long as you don't reset the devices, they will re-connect to the same SSID name and PW.
Been using same SSID name and PW for years across many different routers. All my devices connect when I either FR or put a different router online using same SSID name and PW.
After new FW is upgraded, can induce some odd issues. Newer code can cause older code or configurations to not work correctly, thus a FR is needed to clear out older or bad code or configurations that may not work right after new FW is applied. Seen this many times after new FW is released.
Yes, default all NG routers use 192.168.1.x which can be changed to something else. Glad this wasn't the problem.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks. I wasn't certain if it stashed a GUID or other.
