Points to Note When Replacing Wireless Routers

When Wireless Router Is Changed

Just replacing the wireless router will not allow computers and printers to connect to the network. Devices that were connected to the old wireless router (computers, printers, smartphones, etc.) must be reconnected to the new wireless router.

The Wireless Router Settings Transfer Function

Wireless routers include models with a function to allow the SSID and encryption key (network password) currently in use to carry on being used on the new wireless router. This function is called a transfer function. If you use the transfer function, you can change the connection from the wireless router connected to up until now to the new wireless router without changing the printer settings.

Settings need to be configured on the new router because not all of the information on the old wireless router can be copied to the new router.

Check the specifications and instruction manuals of the old router and new router before use.

Not Using the Wireless Router Settings Transfer Function
