network issues

sorry to be yet more of a nuisance but can someone advise me please on this subject?

my internet provider tells me it's perfectly ok to have a network within the main network of my modem/router. i had trouble connecting like my phone/tv to the wifi on the main network so a subsidary network was created to enable  the connections. thats fine until work is done on the cabling etc and the system/ my router is rebooted and these items try to access wifi via the main network, demanding that i have to reconnect them to the subsidary network. is this normal practice? is this ok to do/keep doing so any items that wont connect on the main network have to have a subsidary network created for them to connect on wifi? as you may have gathered, i know little of this stuff, hence my search for knowledge again from those of you here who know much more than i do

Just reset the router to its factory default settings.

To reset a router, you'll typically need to locate the reset button (often small and recessed) on the back or bottom of the device, and then press and hold it with a paperclip or similar object for about 10-30 seconds while the router is powered on. After releasing the button, the router will restart and reset to its factory default settings.

Use the default Wi-Fi username and password (can usually be found on a sticker on the router itself) to connect your mobile phone th the Wi-Fi, it should work now.

Log in to your router and go to settings and change the Wi-Fi name and password.
