Cat 6A shielding.

First question, I have Frontier fiber and the ont is grounded and it connects to an eero max 7. I saw where people were saying to only ground one side and others say both. Is this correct?

Second question, the patch cables out of the eero can't be ground by the eero itself but my pc should ground that patch?

Final question, my house is 3,300 sq ft so I had to get another eero. Eeros do not have a separate band for the nodes for backhaul, so I have to run another ethernet for wired backhaul to get full performance. So I would be coming out of the eero max and was wondering what would be the best way to ground that cat 6a? I was considering a patch to a grounded unmanaged switch , then running it to keystone for the other eero.

P.s. I'm using cat 6a due to the route I have to take. I will be close to romex and will have to pass through where the panel is. Also in this run to get into the basement there is a small area that I can't drill a new hole , but there is an existing hole with a romex in it that I could run the cat 6 through and will be able to avoid anymore romex after that .
