New full fibre router - will all existing WiFi devices connect

Hi. I will be moving from landline to full fibre shortly. This will mean a new router. I have quite a lot of devices connected to my existing router including security cameras. Will all these devices reconnect to my new fibre router? Some are 2.4 Hz connected.  Thanks.

They should, but you may have to temporarily disable the 5ghz band to connect the 2.4 devices.

To save time reconfiguring all your wireless devices you could rename the Hub Two wireless name and password to be the same you currently use now.

As previously stated it might be necessary to turn off 5 GHz for a short time to get device to attach, but in my experience there was no need.

HTH.
