moving to a new house - Orbi router and extender
I have a Orbi router and extender that has been working great in my house.
we are all moving this weekend to a new place.
I am getting a new internet service with a new modem at the new place.
I can set up the new modem at the new location pretty easy. do I just pretned that I am setting up the Orbi like I did the first time?
is there a easy instruction to follow since I did not keep the manaul and the box for my Orbi?
should I use the same wifi name and password as I have set here? or that is a recipe for confusion?
Thank you all for the help
just trying to be prepared so I can set up the system as smooth as possible
It'll make it easier for you if during the re-install that you use the same ssid/password.
I understand you're just switching to a new isp/modem.

is there a easy instruction to follow since I did not keep the manaul and the box for my Orbi? there sure is! go to netgear.com/support/ type in the model for your specific orbi and it'll take you to the support site with manuals, firmware, guides, etc.
should I use the same wifi name and password as I have set here? or that is a recipe for confusion?---Use the same SSID/password. I swap device all the time and I haven't had a device not reconnect when using the same ssid/password.

Thank you so much Plemans Guru
much appreciated.
just to be clear I am swaping internet service and provider all together. not just devices.
so you still recommend trying to set up the wifi and password the same for my Orbi?
just making sure
I guess if that works then I do not have to worry about all our phones, tablet, laptops, ... all should reconnect at the new place right?
thanks again
