New modem, same mesh

New modem, same mesh

I need to change my modem. Will I have to change all of my mesh settings or can I just plug the Nighthawk MK6W into the new modem, keeping all of my cameras, TVs, thermostats connected? I am doing this remotely with a guest in my home and I want to minimize the work they need to do. Hopefully it is plug and play.

No.

 

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

It should be pretty plug and play. 

get the modem activated.

then follow the guide @FURRYe38  wrote on connecting the router. 

I've rarely needed to do a factory reset on my router after changing modems. Its happened but usually if I'm also changing speed tiers.
