Additional security required?
I just purchased the Mesh system with 2 satellites. It took me about a half hour to set up, because it kept taking me in a stupid set up connection circle. Finally got it going. TV's connect, phones ...

Which model system did you get?
What number did you call? Maybe a false phone number.
Ya, NO, NG routers and MESH Systems don't need extra SW to make it work or will stop working if extra stuff isn't installed.
You can use prior working WIFI SSID name and password on newer systems. I've been using same for past 20 years.
