• Mesh wifi question. Is there any reason I can't leave the original wifi network live and just add the mesh on a separate SSID? Use case is family descending on my parents for Christmas, existing wifi doesn't reach all the rooms, I'm happy to buy and set up the mesh network but parents fear change so if they have to reconfigure phones etc to a new SSID they will just say no. Hoping I can leave the existing network as-is and have the mesh as as add-on.

    (Network's only purpose is internet connection, no filesharing or printer sharing etc on the local network.)

  • You can just name the new mesh the same and use the same password (and decommission the existing Wi-Fi).

    They’ll have to change nothing.
