Eero Gateway Placement Problem (Causing Interference)
I have 3 eero 7 Max units in a 2 story home all hardwired to each other. I needed some advice on what options I have. Essentially it seems like the 3 eero 7 max units are a slight overkill in my setup and causes frequent disconnections and reconnecting with many devices. The problem is my gateway unit. It is located centrally in the home (has to be because that is where all other ethernet connections and primary internet run goes to). I've already tried moving the satellite units or even unplugging one of them to see how the network responds. The best solution is when the gateway unit is essentially "removed" from the wifi access points equation, then signal to all devices is good to great and no more disconnecting/reconnecting problems. However, eero doesn't have an easy way to simply "turn off" wifi offering on the gateway at least that I know of (unless it's in the plus subscription since I don't have that).
Any thoughts or advice? Should I come up with some sort of Faraday cage, lol to put around my gateway unit!?! Hopefully there is a simpler suggestion or solution. Thanks in advance for your replies!
