How do I reset the EX6100 to a new modem/router that has a new network name?

Recently had to replace modem/router, which a different name from the one the EX6100 was paired with originally.  How do I reset the EX6100?  Must I return to factory settings and start from the beginning?  I haven't done anything yet; the old network name is still showing on my devices.  Thanks.

 strongly encourage doing a full reset and redoing the setup. Its always good when changing modem/routers to start back fresh as it avoids any prior settings causing issues. 

With that said, you don't have to. You could log into the extender and redo the setup from there.
