Yes ..Keep in mind that most of your units will hook up wirelessly ..I personally have eliminaterd all of my hard wire.. everything hooked up wirelessly ...The only hard wire I have is to my modem.... You have the option of hardwiring individual units if you would like from the back of the eero....

The Eero connects directly to your modem. We have Uverse and Apple TV, there is an addition outlet on the Eero.

I would get a switch to increase port capacity and then plug your Uverse into the switch.

I do not believe so, you can basically only use one of the two RJ45 jack in the back of the Eeros, unless it is used as the gateway, and then you can use one as the WA connection to the router, and the other to your internal LAN.

However, I do not recommend the Eeros - they have throughput issues during peak internet surfing hours of 8pm-11pm EST.
