When I get a new router if I change the details to the same as my old router, SSID, password etc. will my Sky box, Wii and printer still think it is the old router or will I have to input my passwords again?

The connected devices should think it is the same wifi network. (But of course there are no guarantees).0

I disagree.... the network details stored in your devices are usually the wifi name, password, and often MAC address or similar, so you'll get the stored network details don't match or similar (can't remember the exact wording off the top of my head), so you'd have to go round all your devices and re-do them anyway...best use a new wifi name & pw and re-connect your devices, but leave the old network details in your devices as well (i.e. don't delete the old network details if the device will store more than one) in case you need to plug in the old router for any reason......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
