“Tech-stupid here. That being said I start a work from home job that requires an Ethernet connection to their computer (direct connection) can I use one of the ports in the back of one of those "box-things" even if it's not the one connected to the modem?”

Yes you can. That will provide your computer a hardwired connection to the network (even if the eero it is plugging into is wirelessly connecting to the head/gateway eero, from the computer's perspective it is a hardwired connection). That computer will get as much speed as the eero is getting from the gateway eero. If you need to hardwire more than 2 devices get an unmanaged switch and go eero->switch->multiple devices
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you should be able to use an Ethernet connection to any of these three routers. That said, I do not recommend this system. I tried it, and it was very unstable. A replacement I got was behaving exactly the same, so I know it was not a random defect. Just poor design. I'm returning it to the store, and keeping my old router for now. Very disappointed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes this can extend your ethernet connection to another room over a wireless bridge. so your modem plugs into the base node and your comptuer would plug into the remote node. the two nodes just need to be in range of each other and you can see the signal strength in the app to see if you need to move it closer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can do it, but it just does not make any difference, the computer still connected via WiFi
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I know it will work if you go to the main one connected to cable. I don’t know for sure about the other one. Geek squad installed mine and I remember the guy telling me about the one connected to cable.
