Do I have to use netgear wi name-BE9200

Question

I do not like using the wifi name and PW from netgear. Can I change the PW and or the wifi name? I think the video said If I do not use the old wifi name I would have to reenter the new PW to all items that need it. Also If I hit the reset in the future (if ever needed) will the netgear wifi and PW revet back to what is on the router?

Yes you can change the SSID name and password:

I always use the same ssid/password so I can change routers and everything just reconnects without issues.&nbsp;
so yes, you can change it and its actually a great idea so changing in the future is easier.&nbsp;
