Reply To: New Router setup Hi all, So in preparation for replacing my router, I’m wondering how other people go about replacing theirs. For me, I have several devices on static IP and the rest…

Hi,

Thanks, not too many devices, approx 12 devices, give or take.

Main ones are: smart plugs and nest-e & heatlink that need to be online.

Can cope with a small amount of down time but I’ve found at my parents place, if Nest is not connected to WIFI in few minutes, it seems to not reconnect without turning it off and back on so hence my idea was to setup same SSID on new router and then turn off BT WIFI, enable it on new router and then plug in the draytek modem to get that up and running online.  Once that’s done, I can then sort out the static IP address items and make them fixed again.

Critical devices are approx. 7.  The rest are phones/tablets/nas which worst case I can change after.

Thanks

Kev
