New fiber, Eero & TP-Link
New fiber was installed today. Hooray! My home has around 40 "smart" devices. I told the installer that I didnt need the Eero router, to just plug the Frontier box into my TP-Link, AXE5400 router. We went to Speedtest.net and got 250 down and 409 up.
He said it should be much nbetter than that, would you like to try the Eero router? Yes, I said.
I also have a HomeAssistant Green and another TP-link device for home watering. He said I could use a Netgrear switch, which I just happened to have, to hook up those other devices.
We got it all hooked up (minus the switch) and the new test was a blazin' 500 up and down. Great. Except- what about all my Echos, Shellys, Wiz bulbs, Amazon plugs, etc? Why was the TP-Link under performing? Any likely settings?
I think he also said that the Eero switches to the devices best frequencies, 2g, 5G, 6G, and I didn't need to fret about that anymore? So, I am anticipating going through another Smart Home ordeal, getting everything to work again.
Or is there a better way?
Thanks.
