New router

Easter — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:28:11 GMT

I have received a new router. Is it possible to change the network address and password on it to those of my old router, so that we don't have to update multiple devices that use this router?

Hello @Easter,

Of course you can, just log into the router and change the settings.

Kind regards,

If you mean the wifi SSID and password, then yes you can.

Thanks for that. Next question - how do you log into a router??

192.168.1.254 in the address bar of your browser.

Be aware that if it is a SH2 you won't be able to give the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wifi bands separate names (SSIDs)
