Thank you for the response. I work from home so I will have to try this out this weekend as I don't want it to mess up my work computer.

Hello mikobell,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
Once you get your Orbi Mesh System running it will help to use the same network name and password as your current network to avoid having to connect all your devices one at a time.
Best,
