1. You do not need to disable anything. However, it would be recommended to turn off the Wi-Fi on your Verizon router so there is no interference with the Deco Wi-Fi. You do not need to run the Deco in AP Mode, but note that setting the Deco to AP Mode will disable most features as it will no longer be a router.

2. There are network switches that do not forward Deco traffic correctly so you may come across that with MOCA adapters if you plan to wire Decos to each other.

@Jer33   I have the same setup (Actiontec MI424WR), but not clear on how you turn WiFi off on that device?  Any ideas on exactly how to do that?  Thank you.

You should be able to disable the WiFi on your Actiontec doing the following:

1. Log into admin GUI on Web by entering 192.168.1.1 or myfiosgateway.com in the browser address bar
2. Enter your admin username and password (default login is on the label on the router). 
3. Click on Wireless Settings
4. Click on Wireless Basic Security Settings
5. Next to Wireless under section 1, select Off  
6. Click on Apply

@Tony  Thanks so much for this Tony - it worked like a charm!!    I just logged into the Verizon device using 192.168.1.1 and turned off WiFi - very easy!    Thanks again and have a nice weekend.

@Tony Please help with the sequence.

I have a Verizon FIOS modem/router combo. I want to set up the M5 under the same FIOS network name and password so that I don't have to manually reconnect all my devices.

THREE ROUTES.  WHICH IS BEST?

Set up the M5 under standard installation initially with a new network name.

Then disable the FIOS wireless.

And then rename the M5 network and change the password to the original FIOS network name and password.

OR

Just set up the M5 with the same FIOS name and password.

Then disable the FIOS wireless.

OR

Disable the FIOS wireless first.

Then set up the M5 using my current FIOS network name and password.
