Question about reconnecting my network after moving. AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6400

I have a question about reconnecting my network after moving.  I am building a new house that is in the same city that I live now. I will be using the same ISP.

 

When I move the router,modem to my new house, when I plug everything in all the settings should stay the same and it should just boot up and run as if it was never moved, correct?

 

I know this is a dumb question but I want to make sure I know for sure prior to moving.

       Sure, if the (unspecified) "same ISP" _service_ is the same.  Why not
    ask the (unspecified) "same ISP", to which you'll be complaining when
    something goes wrong?

     

       In a different location, the radio-interference situation might be
    different, making a channel change beneficial.

     

       Your external (public?) IP address might be different, and you might
    care about that (or not).

     

       As usual, many things are possible.
