I just had to purchase a new router.

Is there a way to transfer the dongle and setting to the new router. Or am I gonna be forced to write down my scheduals and do a hard reset, and go through the setup process from scratch.

I saw something about logging into a social media account to save settings, but I don't have any, nor do I want any.

This may also be the good time to transfer control of the kessils over to the apex controller.

#5 save settings to logged in account (appears to only be to a social media account Facebook, twitter,
google.
#4 log in to social media account (I have no social media account I DON'T want a social media account and I don't have internet access at home) if I need the internet I use my phone.

call me old school or whatever, but I still like all my settings and back ups and stuff under my control.

I'm going to have to get creative with the new router to even get access to the wifi dongle (new network name and password and stuff)

Got it done.
I went into the new router and gave it the original routers name and password.

The dongle conected just fine. I was able to log in to the dongle and write down my timing schedule. Luckily I only had around 9 time slots to copy down.

I went back into the new router and gave it back it's own name and password.

Then I reset the dongle. Then went through the original setup process. And copied the time schedules I wrote down.

Not to bad, but it's much nicer to have a web browser based interface that you can log into an iP address to make changes to settings.
