Q: What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password using the eero app – will all my connected devices automatically reconnect without any action?
A: No, typically devices need to re-enter the new Wi-Fi password. The app simply updates the password stored on its side and your router. Connected devices won’t automatically reconnect unless they have automatic reconnection features built into their operating system or specific app.
