Setup for 2 buildings, one network using Eero?
I'm having issues with my eero setup and am trying to figure out how to reconfigure it for a more optimal experience. Below is a to scale diagram of my current setup.
Home Setup:
My internet modem has an CAT6 ethernet cable running to eero #1 (red in diagram).
Eero #2 and #3 in the diagram connect wirelessly to the rest of the system.
That part is ordinary/simple.
Connecting home to office:
The challenge is extending the same network to my office which is in a separate building. The eero #4 in my office can reach the #3 eero with a terribly bad connection where my 600Mbps-ish internet connection comes over at around 20Mbps. I want to make sure #4 NEVER connects to #3 since that makes the internet largely unusable in my office.
Wireless bridge between home and office:
I have another CAT6 cable running to a Ubiquity LTU-LITE unit that is outside and points to my office.
In my office window is another LTU-LITE pointed at the house and the two units create a point-to-point bridge which acts like a wireless ethernet cable that has 900+ Mbps bandwidth. If you're not familiar with this kind of setup, then just think of it as if it's a wired ethernet connection since that's how it acts.
My current setup causes the eero's to be confused since it occasionally ignores the fact that the internet is coming in via ethernet to eero #1 and instead thinks it should use the eero #4 as the connection and then it has #3 connect to that (with the mega slow connection I mentioned above) and then that supplies #2 and #1 which makes my home internet unusable.
I was about to create a separately named wireless network in my office to prevent the issues mentioned above, but doing so will force me to reconfigure about 20 devices (smart light switches, etc.) which is going to be a pain.
While making the diagram above a thought came to mind... would things work better if I move the ethernet cable that is currently going from my modem to the wireless bridge so that it instead starts from one of the ports on the eero #1? Therefore the path would be: modem -> eero #1 -> wireless bridge -> eero #4. Would that prevent the issues I mentioned above?
