I have a separate property with multiple devices (security cameras, irrigation, thermostat) hooked up to my home network via wifi, and my current router just died. I am looking at purchasing a new Arris router and having a neighbor plug it in. However, for my devices to automatically reconnect to my wifi signal, I will need to change the Arris factory SSID name and password to match my current network credentials. I know how to do this when I am connected via the same network using the generic IP address for all routers, but I clearly am not going to be onsite to access my new router that way. I read that the Arris Surfboard app will allow a device to be linked to the app by manually entering its SSID and wifi passcode. So will my Surfboard router come with a UNIQUE SSID (not generic 192.168.0.1 or similar) and passcode that I can manually enter into the app accessed via a DIFFERENT wifi network to enable me to access my router to them change its network credentials REMOTELY? If it helps, I’m looking at purchasing the G34. Thank you.

It looks to me like it will, but I’ve never used the app to try and do this remotely. https://arris.my.salesforce-sites.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/G34-G36-Changing-the-Wi-Fi-Name-and-Password
