At present I only have ADSL2 delivered via an old THOMSON TG585v7 and most ISPs say ADSL2 is all that's available here. However 2 degrees say I can get RBI 4G delivered via a Huawei B535 and I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons.
My home network is used by 2 wireless printers, 3 android phones and 5 PCs (incl 2 currently ethernet only desktops). The PCs are all Win10 with local accounts of 2 or 3 users each and I use the full range of network drive mappings and permissions to share any necessary files. Also as one layer of my backup strategy I send windows file history from all 5 PCs to a single external drive connected to the desktop which is running most of the time.
The thought of having to set up everything from scratch on a new network is a bit daunting so my question is can I cheat by giving a new network on a Huawei B535 the same SSID and password as my current network and have everything just continue to work as at present?
