New network do i have to chage each google device in my home?

Need help. I gave up googke wifi and now just have internet through a Verizon router.  Do I have to repoint each device separately to the new network?

Per Google Nest, "The simplest fix for most Nest products is to update your home network so that the network name (SSID) and password are the same as before. This will usually work even if you’ve purchased a new Wi-Fi router as long as the manufacturer settings are the same." (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9223711?hl=en#zippy=%2Ctry-the-same-network-name-and-pa...)

Can you set the network name (SSID) and password on your new Verizon router to the same values you used on your Google Wi-Fi router?  We did this when we got a new router/modem, and we did not have to update any of our Google Nest devices.

If not, Google Nest's strategy is for you to remove each device in the Google Home app while you are still on the old Wi-Fi, and then do a factory reset, and then re-add each device in the Google Home app on the new Wi-Fi.  Yes, it's a pain.

Hey Tjdavey13,

It's me again. I don't want to be a nudge but I'd like to check if you still need help with your Google Home/Google Nest devices?
