Changing over to Orbi 970 from 960

I currently have a Orbi 960 mesh setup and I am using the Orbi app

 

I have just purchased the 970 mesh setup, in the app it says setup a new orbi system will this just delete the old system\router\satellites or will both routers show in the app?

 

What would be the best process to follow

 

Thank you

    I went from a 960 to a 970 and actually preferred my 960 because it was more stable. I've got 2 gig service so it didn't have any problems maxing out the speeds and it was older tech. The 970 has improved in terms of stability.

    Both will show up in the app.

     

    Though personally I prefer managing my systems using the web interface on a PC.
