Newbee question about adding mesh to Spectrum

I have a stupid question, but I'm pretty unsavvy about all this tech stuff.  I'm going to replace my Spectrum Router with the Orbi AC 2200.  I have about 30 devices that work with the Wifi.  Will I have to reconfigure all these with the new Router?  Thanks for any help.

    If you use the same ssid/password that the old router used, they should auto-connect. 

    I switch routers all the time and use this method. I haven't found 1 device yet that wouldn't auto-connect (provided the ssid/password are the same)
