To: Furrye38. Thank you very much for your reply. Please be aware I do appreciate you taking the time to respond, and in such great detail. However, I am an end user person on computers and devices. I can install a word processing program, Adobe Acrobat, a spread sheet, an e-mail,a browser, etc. and customize them a bit to my needs and use them. However, I am by no means a computer guru. I could not begin to implement any of the possible cures you suggest. They are just beyond me. I cannot believe there is no "relatively" simple answer to my situation. I certainly am not the only end user who already has a router and modem that cannot just be disconnected, tossed out, and replaced by the Orbi Router and satellites. My existing router/modem serves my TV and telelphone, as well as Internet. I have to leave it in place. And probably most of those people who already have such a setup, but want to increase their WiFi reception, are merely "end user" types like me. What do they do when they "ADD" - not REPLACE - the Orbi system to their exiting setup. What is the original installation procedure on ADDING the Orbi setup so as not to have 2 WiFi Networks in their home. Somehow, I think I made a mistake, or mistakes, (probably not reading all the documentation sufficiently), when I bought, and setup, the Orbi. All I want to do now is fix my mistake(s). I would like to completely remove the Orbi setup, and start all over and do it right, so that I have an improved reception WiFi on my existing Network. OR - if I can reach that end result by a procedure without removing the Orbe setup, that a relatively simple minded end user can implement, I would love it.

Here is the instruction on how to accomplish what you want:
Good luck!
