A:Answer I suspect not. Here is my example and hope it helps. We have Xfinity WiFi and we were using the Xfinity pod mesh too. I replaced this pod mesh with the eero mesh because it is much faster. I connected one eero device to the Xfinity router by ethernet following the eero directions. Then placed the remaining two devices in other parts of the house. Using the eero app on my iPhone, I followed the directions to set up a 'new' WiFi network that uses the eero devices. I did not disable the Xfinity WiFi network. So now I have two WiFi networks in the house. The Xfinity network and the eero network (which I gave a different name). The Xfinity WiFi router is located by our TV so all those devices (the TV, Roku, etc) are on the Xfinity WiFi. I placed all my other WiFi devices on the eero network, especially the printer because I found that a laptop on the eero mesh network could not find a printer left on the Xfinity WiFi network. In the end, I have two WiFi networks: Xfinity WiFi which has a limited number of devices attached then the eero mesh network which most everything else is attached. It works for me to use that set up but may be confusing to others, If it is confusing then move all your WiFi devices to the eero network. Just remember your modem-router must be operating for the eero mesh to work, that is essential.
