The Google search term you need is "how to enable modem mode on EE router [insert name/type of router] ".
You then basically make the router only be a router without WiFi.

This would not be modem mode.
Boxes from EE, Virgin, BT etc do (at least**) three things : modem, router, WiFi.
Generally, you can turn off the last one or the last two.
** They also tend to do basic firewalling, broadcast storm protection and some other security-esque things. For the purposes of this discussion, these fall under the category of "routing".

Dunce here. Wondering if I have bought the wrong thing.
I have EE broadband, coming into the house via what I call a BT socket. This goes into the EE wifi box thing, into the Broadand hole. From here we get the wifi.
The signal is a bit patchy so based on another thread I've bought a couple of Deco home hub mesh wifi things. Plugged the EE thing into the Deco and using the Deco app I seem to have set up a new WIFI network.
The old network is still present though - surely the new one needs to supercede the old one. Or there will just be wifi all over the place.....?
