Existing Router Signal

Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, I successfully installed the Deco M5 WiFi in my house.  The old wireless network signals are still broadcasting through the existing router that the M5 is connected to with some of our devices connected to those older networks.  Should those be shut off and everything running off of the new Deco signal or it is ok to be using both the old router signals and the new one?


Thanks!

Hi, I am using the Deco only and have shut off the wireless signals from my modem/router. Thus far not experienced any issues with the wireless signal.

The recommendation is to make sure the existing router Wi-Fi does not cause any interference with the Deco. If your network has been running fine you can leave your network alone.

@Tony  Thank you for your response.  How would I tell if I am receiving interference?
