I want to use these in addition to my existing wifi router. Can I disable DHCP on the eero mesh so the devices will get their IPs from my primary router? null

Question

Yes.  I get DHCP from my Centurylink DSL modem and have two eero APs providing WiFi access without providing NAT or DHCP services.

I wouldn’t do this with Eero.  If you want an Eero, you have to assume it is THE router in your setup.  Otherwise you introduce all kinds of problems you’ll have to troubleshoot.

Yes you can! The eero will start doing DHCP by default but you can go to the eero app->Settings->Network Settings->DHCP & NAT, move the dot to Bridge and click save. This will turn off the eero DHCP server and firewall.
