Hi all. So, I juse received my 5G Hub,MC888, so far I have only tried the TV and my PC on new hub, both are connected via ethernet.
Regarding wifi, At the monent I am still on Virgin Media hub ( contract not cancelled,,,yet ) with all my wifi devices, I have about 20+ devices connected via wifi, which include 3x Ring cameras, 1x Ring doorbell cam, 2 x ring chimes, 3x older `other` IP cams, about 8x smart plugs, 3 x Echo show Alexa devices , 1x tablet, and 1x phone,
So as I am typing this, both hubs are active. The Three hub for the ethernet (tv and pc), and the VM hub for the (wifi ) devices.
That`s the background, this is the question... Rather than disconnecting each individual wifi device and go through all the hassle of setting each device back up again from scratch using the Three hub, Would it be possible to just change the Three hub`s SSID and Password names to the SAME SSID and SAME password that the VM is currently using, in the hope that once the VM is turned off, then the wifi devices will just connect themsleves ` automatically ` to the Three hub ??. Is that possible ?? or am I expecting too much ?.
Thanks in anticipation. John

Yes should work when I upgraded my 3 supplied Huawei router to latest TP Link.
