Yes you will along with everything else that uses Wi-Fi in the house, it's really not that bad or hard to do. My major suggestion is to make sure to separate the bands one on 2.4 Ghz the other on 5 Ghz and if it has a guest one set that too.
This is what I ordered. Can I split the 2.4 and 5?
I have used Linksys routers for many years and the last one I purchased many years ago I was able to separate the bands, There pretty much named the same XXX 2.4GHz and XXX 5GHz. , I would think this would continue but maybe talk to Linksys directly as that puppy ain't cheap.
I know. Hate having to mess with this stuff but I’m losing internet access throughout the day. ??
I hear you luckily I haven't had many Wi-Fi issues except for mine is weak in my driveway the garage and that's 60ish feet away from my Linksys and Xfinity routers, but I can go across the street to my neighbors house that's a few hundred feet away and have a great signal. Wi-Fi is kind of fluky depending on what the signal has to go through.
I get 2 signals from my neighbors house which is quite a distance from us. I wanted my wife to chat up the neighbors wife and “get” their password but she is to nice a person for that. ??
I too get a lot of the neighbors Wi-Fi signals too, It's amazing how may Wi-Fi signals, hot spots that are open, not password protected and you can use if you wanted to for free. Xfinity Mobile, my cell provider has a ton of open Wi-Fi out there that you can pretty much use coast to coast unless the customer turned the xfinitywifi on there router off like I did.
Sorry for the foolish question but how do I do that? Easy is good for me. ??
@Gotbbq never a foolish question when it relates to something you’re not familiar with. ?
Surprisingly, it did. Sound too easy to be true ? I’ll know on Thursday when it arrives. Much appreciated. Thanks ??
Question if you change router manufactures is this SSID password transfer happen the same way?
Yes. The wireless device (phone, grill, laptop, etc) pretty much only stores three pieces of information. The SSID (network name), the authentication protocol, and the password to connect to that SSID. Look at the configuration of your old router and just write down those three pieces of information (you probably know the name and password without looking at the router). The authentication protocol will be one of (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) most likely. Then when your new router comes in, make sure you set all three of those values in your new router to match the settings in your old router.
I’m going to check right now and get the info- Much thanks ??
Got it. WPA2. Ready to rock and roll, still nervous. I’m hoping the Bull connects easily. ??
Yes, if your authentication method is the same on the new as old.
Good to hear. Expecting a train wreck hoping for something less. ??
