I'm not a network engineer either. I just figured with your vast computer background and for all the IT companies you said you worked for, I thought you must be doing something special that so many of your devices had to be reset.

When I changed my router, I changed the SSID on the new router to the same as it was on the old router, made the security setting the same as on the old router, and everything reconnected fine.

YMMV.
