Reseting router and reestablishing SSIDs

I need to reset my router. Once done and I reestablish my SSIDs exactly as they were before the reset will my devices automatically recognize them and reconnect since the names are the same and passwords hadn’t changed?

SB6121 Modem with intermittent drops on Internet vb

Our Internet speed of 200 Mbps has been dropping recently even after virtual resets by Internet provider and physical resetting modem and router by me. Internet is now routinely popping up and stating "Unstable Connection". Everything looks fine according to our internet provider, so not sure what is causing the drops in service. Could this be my modem? It's at least nine years old, but I'm not sure how to problem solve possible modem issues. My Netgear Nighthawk router is virtually new and similar ratings as the last one that died on me not long ago.

Network and Password sb6121

In order to get a service from Xfinity I would need el Network Namen and Pasword of my modem. Given that the modem is Motorotola I asked them about that. Motorola sent me an email telling:“Based on the MAC address provided, the device appears to be an Arris modem. The older Motorola modems, the Surfboards, were manufactured by them. Please reach out to Arris's customer support for further assistance with addressing the issue you're experiencing with your modem: https://arris.my.salesforce-sites.com/consumers/ConsumerProductSupport.” The information printed on the bottom label:of the modem is: SURFboard Model: SB6121Thank you.FCI:001 Thank you.

Connection losses about 4-5 times daily

Hello, I work from home using ethernet directly into the modem (hard wired) and have been having several intermittent connectivity issues. System stall, and the modem losses internet connection.My work tech support says it's my provider. My internet provider says it's my modem. What is the life of a modem? I think mine is about 4 years old. And, what are the signs /symptoms that indicate my modem is going bad?

what is the bandwidth of my Arris SB 6141?

Hi, I’m having trouble connecting a Simplisafe base station to my Wi-Fi and they said it might be due to being on the wrong bandwidth. I checked with Xfinity and they couldn’t help me since it’s not their equipment. The other things SS said was that their equipment wouldn’t work if we are using VPN. I explained to them that I have several devices from different manufacturers all connected to the Internet...no problem.Would bandwidth and VPN be a problem?
