I have Full Fibre 900Mbps plan with a Smart Hub 6, I have been having WiFi range issues, I have upgraded to the 1.6Gbps service and that comes with Smart Hub 7 Pro and Wifi Extender Pro.
I expected silly money, but in fact new service and hardware was £20 a month cheaper !
Quick Question, to avoid having to reconfigure network settings on the myriad of devices … can I get it new Hub to use existing Network ID and password ?
When I replaced a faulty Smart Hub 6 it was set to use same credentials … this time as its Smart Hub 7 pro replacing Smart Hub 6 … is it still possible?
If so what is the easiest way to do this?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

A router reboot (or power cut or pull the plug) doesn't change any of its settings. A Factory Reset puts them all back to defaults.

@Posiedon Login as admin and change them to what the one router was.,

@Posiedon would you not just use the App and like with the previous Hubm choose the option to keep the same WiFi details. https://ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/set-up-guide/smart-hub-7-pro
