We are about to move to a different broadband supplier. We have a smart meter, and I can't work out if I will need to change any settings when we change the wi-fi network name or if it will just continue working regardless. Can anyone advise please?

no need for any action at all.

You'll only be affected at all if you used the Wi-Fi features of your IHD. But that's an easy fix.

However, you can make things less painful in the future by using your own router, rather than the "free" ones from ISPs. I use Ubiquiti UniFi myself, but there's loads of options out there to choose from.
