Hi guys, I am hoping for a little bit of help. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to networking, so I will try my best to explain my situation. Thank you in advance for bearing with me here...My wife keeps giving me shit because she told me not to get 5 Gig, and now that I made the switch and its worse than before, she won't stop harassing me about it. (please help)So recently, I switched from cable internet to 5 Gig fiber. I upgraded my PC and added a 10 G ethernet port to be able to handle the speed.When the installers came, they put their ISP/Modem (FRX523V2) in the basement and ran their fiber to it.They brought 2 Eero Max 7 wifi routers, and set up a Mesh wifi network in our house. From the FRX523V2, they went into the 10 gig port of the Eero in the basement.On the very top floor in the office (Where my PC is), they put the second Eero router, which I connected to my PC 10g to 10g ports.The Eero router in the basement was getting 5g up/5g down. The Eero router in the upstairs office connected to my computer by cat 6A was getting about 2.6g - 2.7g on speed tests.I decided to run a cat 6a cable from the eero in basement to the upstairs eero using the 10 gig ethernet, created what I guess is called a backhaul.So now I have ISP/Modem (10 gig out) <> Eero Max 7 (10 gig in & 10 gig out [to next eero]) <> Eero Max 7 (10gig in & 10 gig out [to pc]) <> PCI am now getting 5 gig steady on speed tests. GREAT! I thought...But now my wife is complaining about buffering on the middle floor devices anytime I run a speed test, or do a large download.I read something about an unmanaged switch and that one of the Eero Max 7 units needs to be on the top of the network topology. I tried to find a switch on amazon that could do this, but Im having trouble identifying one that isnt $200+. Ideally, I would like to be at or around $100 or less.So I guess, the optimal setup looks like this (according to google/my research)...ISP/Moden <> Eero 7 Max (basement) <> Unamanged Switch (basement) <> Eero 7 Max (upstairs office) <> PCPlease for the love of god help me solve this problem. I really appreciate any help or advice you smart people can provide. Thanks again!
