We just moved into this spacious home exceeding 21,000 sqft. Initially, Wi-Fi was available with a router linked to a server in the manor house, serving six APs across the property. We upgraded to our BT Smart Hub 2 router. However, the old network name remains unchanged, which is confusing since it doesn’t match our current router’s IP. I’m unsure how to modify the network name and password because it differs from ours. We’re not certain about the problem—perhaps we’re missing something important. Any details you can share would be very helpful.

Reset the APs to factory settings and then reattach the system. Or replace the APs entirely if they are outdated.

Access points are typically managed through a web-based interface. If you lack the credentials, perform a factory reset and reconfigure it. Generally, user guides are available online.

Occasionally when swapping one unit for the BT Wi-Fi disc via Ethernet, it functions properly. It seems unusual, but we might need to purchase more—possibly 6 to 8 units. Are there any BT Wi-Fi discs that perform better? Also, is there a maximum number of devices we can connect to our router? We’re using the BT Smart Hub 2, which connects to a server with many switches and about 30 spare Ethernet ports.
