Should i Disable previous WiFi network

Nix70

We just set up our first mesh network with Google and it’s working quite well but I’m wondering if we need to contact our provider and disable our old network ? I’ve previously set up an Eero and that was the recommended protocol - appreciate any advice so we can have optimal performance.

Hi Nix70,

 

Thanks for reaching out. In most cases, Double Network Address Translation (Double NAT) does not affect Wi-Fi performance. But it can be an issue if you play online games or use port forwarding rules and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). You could click on this link to learn more about this.

 

Thanks,

Edward
