I set up my eero system throughout my home by connecting to hardwired Ethernet connections I have throughout my home and that is truly the best way to get the strongest signal and fastest speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That would be a waste but you can modify the DHCP. They all have 2 Ethernet ports so you can hardware whatever you want. The speeds will be the same though. When speed testing my wired computer and phones, laptops, and tablets, I get the same results. Full paid for speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can plug each of the routers to ethernet for better coverage. I'm not sure why you would want to turn everything off as this would negate the beauty of a mesh system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have the choice to turn off the DHCP function from the advanced network settings. I believe the bridged mode will give you the firewall transparency you want. In the process you will lose the friendly installation feature and the wifi mesh benefit. In a large installations where the mobile devices are ...Mobile, the roaming and fast handover from one node to another is very important. I do not understand why you want to dumb down your wifi. If you need advanced routing, this mesh device might not be the one for you. Look into Cisco-Meraki enterprise grade equipment. If the routing features of the EERO are sufficient, let the first node you connect be the router. It will work better than most mesh solutions for a decent price. Your backhaul traffic will be done over your existing ethernet so you do not really need a third frequency band.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can do this by just plugging in the ethernet cable and putting the eero in to bridge mode in the app. That being said if you don't mind a little more setup, you might want to look in to a Ubiquiti solution instead and get their AP's to set up. If you have a POE switch the Ubiquiti AP's can be powered over an ethernet cable so all you have to do is plug in 1 cable to get it up and running vs eero where you need a separate power outlet + ethernet cord.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use an ethernet connection to arguably make a more stable and faster connection, you can also disable basic security making the network available to anyone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can set this in bridge mode and still use existing router in a limited way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.they will talk to each other over ethernet. you can turn off DHCP.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can plug them into a wired network to extend wlreless over a building as you have described. The Eero app allows you to configure DHCP in bridge mode. I don't see a firewall configuration in the Eero setup but I have a cable modem that does that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can. The first has to be fed by wire but the others will mesh. If you have enough Ethernet ports you can wire each one. And yes put them in pass through mode (my term not eero) and they will let you base network do all the IP addressing. You can set up a guest network on the fly but using your app that you installed from.
