Which wifi network should I connect to - ISP Router or Time Capsule?

Hi


I set up a new wifi network when setting up my Time Capsule.


For my wireless devices, should I connect to my ISP router network or my Time Capsule network or both?


Which option gives me the best wifi coverage?


Thanks

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

No one here has a crystal ball that is good enough to be able to tell you which wireless network, if any, will work best in your home.


Connect a laptop to one network and try it out at a number of different locations around the house. Then, do the same thing with the other network.


If you find that one network is better than the other, then you should connect all your devices to that network and use the other network for guests.
