Moving House Tech Checklist
Broadband, Wi-Fi, phones and smart home, sorted before you move, so your new home works from the first evening.
4–6 weeks before
- Check broadband at the new address, and whether full fibre is available
- Book the broadband move or new installation (allow around two weeks or more)
- Check your contract before switching provider
- Plan a 4G or phone hotspot in case there's a gap
1–2 weeks before
- Write down your Wi-Fi name and password exactly
- Back up phones and laptops
- Ask whether your home phone number can move with you
- Tell your personal alarm or telecare provider about the move
- Remove doorbells, cameras and thermostats you're leaving from your accounts
Moving day
- Set up the router somewhere central
- Use your old Wi-Fi name and password on the new router
- Reconnect printers, TVs and smart devices that don't connect by themselves
- Test the Wi-Fi in every room
First week
- Tell TV Licensing your new address
- Set up Royal Mail redirection and update your address
- Return the old router if your provider asks
- Reset the previous owner's smart devices and change smart lock and alarm codes
