Upgrade to Mesh 7
Is there an easy way to upgrade my system from Mesh 6 to Mesh 7. I have multiple devices connected to my current Mesh 6 system. How can I connect to a new Mesh 7 system without changing the WiFi name and password for each connected device?

When the new WiFi system is installed, set the WiFi credentials to match the existing system exactly. That way, every WiFi device will detect and connect to the new system without any need for reconfiguration. Also, if you decide to "go back", the old system can be reinstalled and every device will recognize it automatically. I have kept the same WiFi credentials for over 20 years despite replacing the WiFi router many times.
