I Also had to upgrade my router to be able to support more than 32 devices simultaneously. Even with the same network ID, password and security-type, I had to add each TP link device again--Ok, expected I guess. Then the new router locked up a couple minutes after adding my last smart device, then factory reset itself. I set up the exact network ID/PW once again and STILL had to manually add the TP Link devices individually. The router reset 2 more times over the next day. My frustration level with the router itself was off the charts but it made me realized that while I liked my 3 TP link switches, It was too much of a pain in the ass and a waste of time to manually add each one to a new network. I use Lutron now. Not cheap but setup is a breeze and I never have to deal with adding devices again if I change my network settings.
I've also used FEIT smart bulbs for about 3 years now. They will "reset" if someone flips a light switch on-off-on-off-on in quick succession and start flashing. I can just go in the app and it will search for lights to add. They ALL pop up and I can add any amount of lights in maybe 1 minute and the device name is remembered. If the TP link devices had this ability, it would be a FAR superior product.

Edited to add: You're right about the setup, though. It's absolutely dismal if you are trying to set up multiple devices at one time. I had the electrician install all of mine at once, and it took me 3 hours to get everything connected correctly, having to redo the process 3 times or more on some switches and having to move the switch back and forth into easy or pro mode until it connected.
