Sounds like you bought a new router and are using the default wifi name of the new router which is different than your old default name.
The easiest thing to do is go into the router and change the default wifi name(s) to the old routers names so you would not need to change all of your wifi names in your phones/tablets/iot.
Better yet, you should never use the default wifi names (ssid), plus you should always use just 1 wifi name for both your 2.4 & 5ghz wifi networks. Let the device determine which network to use.
