> Like most 6E devices, the eero Pro 6E has a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, which is paired with another 1 Gbps port. This is a limitation of the Qualcomm chipset eero are using, which can’t provide 2.5 Gbps connectivity on both ports. This means that either your WAN connection or your LAN connection can break the gigabit barrier, but not both.
But you could just plug the 2.5 port into a switch connected to a router, no? Surely the eero doesn't have to be your router?
- mischief6 5y agoyes, that's right. i run OpenBSD on an ODROID-H2 which has rge(4) nics, and connect eeros directly to it and via a QNAP QSW-1105-5T switch. (disclaimer: i work at eero)
