You could use those long cables to connect two additional Eero nodes to the gateway node and get even better performance than you would if they relied on on wireless. However, you would need to add a Gb ethernet switch since the Eero devices only have two ports. On the gateway Eero unit you'd connect one port to the modem and the other to uplink to the switch. Then the two remote Eero devices would connect to other ports on the switch. You could avoid the switch but you'd only be able to have one remote hardwired Eero. Obviously you could add others using wireless as well.
