Hi all,
After 15 years in an SF Xfinity zone, I'm finally moving to an area serviced by Sonic!
I can't wait for Gigabit, and am looking to overhaul my network setup to take advantage. But I have a few questions about how to set things up.
My ONT is in the garage, next to 3 wired ethernet ports that route CAT6 to multiple rooms throughout the house. I don't plan to have any of my clients connected via ethernet, but I want to have 3 wireless access points connected via the wired backhaul.
I've been pretty happy with Eero in my current home, but the limited Ethernet ports are a challenge. It seems like I would need another Eero router in the garage -- in addition to the three routers for each of the access points -- PLUS a switch to be able to route signal to the three ethernet cables.
Basically: ONT -> Eero -> Switch -> wired connections -> 3 APs.
Am I thinking about this right? Are there any other solutions you can recommend that might be more streamlined? Thank you!
