The PoE Gateway eero is designed to be the head/gateway eero (thus the name) of an eero network, especially one using PoE 6 eero. There must be one eero upstream for all the others so in previous PoE setups it had to be configured as Internet/Modem->Head eero->PoE Injector/switch->PoE eero. Since most PoE setups don't need wifi in the network closet, that led to an eero that was largely unused for wifi. The PoE gateway solves this and removes the need for an additional PoE switch. With it you go internet/modem->Poe Gateway eero->PoE eero. Of course the PoE Gateway eero also works well for hardwired setups that aren't PoE
