I checked the forums and googled but not too clear on what happens here.

I think this is probably applicable to stock and Merlin but I use Merlin so I thought I'd ask here, I'm thinking of doing a hard reset (for other reasons) but I have a few QR codes printed out and nicely laminated around the house.

If I redo all the settings, but use the same Wifi SSID, do I need to reprint the QR Code or will that be the exact same as before, as long as the SSID password is the same (as it was before) i.e. do the codes stay the same or do they randomize differently each time but it doesn't it matter as it resolves to the same password regardless.

I am going to assume (hope!) I do not have to chnage the QR codes but thought I'd check. TIA
 
So long as the SSID & password are the same the QR codes will remain usable. You can test this by scanning an existing QR code and looking at the data.
