Wi-Fi in the Home
I have an AX1800 which I am connecting to an iSP router to make an access point.
I am also looking at the B-series wifi routers from TPlink to give me better wifi.
Question:
if I connect a TPLink wifi router to my existing ISP router via Ethernet (Cat6) can I use the TP wifi around the Home? The ISP router will remain in place as it works for phone service and WAN connection, but I want to improve the Home wifi experience.
please afvise

Yes, you can:
If you don't need the ISP router Wi-Fi you can just disable its wireless radio.
Thus you can use only the TP-Link router wireless radio at your premises.
Best practice in this scenario is to use AX1800 in AP mode (Case 2) to avoid the double NAT in your network.

Hi@PorterLink,
Welcome to our community.
If you don't care about having multiple Wi-Fi networks at home, you don't need to turn off the WiFI function of the ISP router. If you want to have only one Wi-Fi network at home to reduce the number of network switches, you can turn off the WiFI function of the ISP router as Terziyski suggested.
