When using Google mesh system, can I retain original router password and name, and will all existing devices recognize

if you go into the network configuration of the new mesh system, you can rename the network and password to anything you like. as long as those both match, all devices that were connected to your old router will automatically connect.
this is what i did with all my smart devices. i was not about to reconnect 50+ things because of a new name.
open google home, click on the wifi button, click the gear/settings icon at the top and then rename the network name/password under your primary network.

Hi folks,
@Brwilson198, thanks for the help.
@Pcruz9, thanks for posting and sorry for the long revert. Yes, you can use the old SSID and password and your devices will connect. You can check this helpful link.
Let me know if you need further help.
Thanks,
