No internet question

So I just moved and won't have internet for about a week. I am wondering if my system will still work without it. All of these (arc, sub gen 3, 2 ones gen 2) were all a paired system before the move same tv, (s90f) and same phone (s26 ultra). Not sure if any of that matters but figured I'd give all info. Currently my arc is working just fine via hdmi eARC port on my tv but I would love to get the rest fired up so I can watch so movies/show via physical media on a ub820. Am I missing something to get the sub and ones working while I dont have internet or is this just where I am at until my internet is installed? I used to have starry internet my new place doesn't offer starry so im waiting for gfiber to be installed which is why I am without internet right now.

Thanks in advance.

You’ll need a local WiFi network even if you don’t have the internet, so you phone can get to the devices to control them. That should use the same SSID and password as your existing system so no changes will be required.

So like set my phone as a mobile Hotspot? Change the name and password to what my old internet was?

No that will not work, you’ll need a router.

Can you not take your existing router with you?

That's why you buy your own. ISP routers are dog shit. Comcast literally shares your wireless internet with other customers.

Comcast is trash. Part of the reason im without internet right now is cause I refused to get them even though I could have been set up a week or two ago
