What do I do with original Wi-Fi network when adding new one for mesh system?

2022-08-27 02:28:35

I just installed a Deco AX3000 mesh system and instructions had me create a new network

Now I have two Wi-Fi networks. I want to install new Ring lights so which network do I use, original or the new mesh system?

Do I need both Wi-Fi networks? Can I delete the original? Should I? Please advise what I should do regarding these 2 networks.

thanks

@SS07

The simple answer is YES, delete the original Wi-Fi network SSID and turn off the radios. If you want various devices to work smoothly and connect correctly avoiding any NAT confusion, you should only have one Wi-Fi SSID - your new Deco Mesh.
