I've had a router for many years, and have maintained a password over
router changes - changing the password from time to time but not when also
changing the router.   Same approach with a few other things.   I'm more
likely to document a password change when I actually decide to change a
password, rather than when I'm in the middle of setting up something new.

I wouldn't attach it to the actual router, though - chuck out the old one
and my way of doing it means your password has just been put out with the
router itself!
