LPT When you get a new wifi router, give it exactly the same name and password of your old one, and you won't have to reprogram all the devices in your home!

I got a new wifi router when I switched to fiber.

The tech asked me what I wanted for the device name and password, and I said "whatever".

So I spent the next few days changing it on 4 rokus, 2 TVs, 3 phones, an Echo, and finally my ring doorbell. I had to look up how to do it for the Ring. It gave that lifeprotip as the easiest way to do it, and then gave instructions for how to do it on the Ring itself.
