Turning off the WiFi on your existing wireless router will help improve the performance of your HomePass WiFi network by reducing channel utilization. Turning the old WiFi off will also avoid confusing your devices.
Turning your router’s WiFi off will vary by Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer. Make sure you are turning off the radios and not just the SSID broadcast.
