OK. Thank you.

Perhaps you can point me in the right direction here. If not, no big deal I'll continue to research but here's my situation.

I used to own a home that I had hardwired. I had the equipment listed above, plus two of these and one of these. I primarily followed this three-part YouTube video and also this video from crosstalk.

I have now moved to a new home that I rent. I will be hardwiring but only to a room or two. Nothing extensive. For the AP's probably.

Anyway, I still have all of the network(s) credentials and (I believe) IP's from my devices.

I think I would like to restore all of the equipment to factory settings and then go through the process of setting it all up again as a learning tool.

However, I would prefer to restore and update all the equipment before I switch anything related to my current gateway (like putting it into bridge mode). Is this advisable and/or possible?
