How should this network be set up? I have the modem plugged into the router (wan port). In port 1 of the router, It's plugged into the switch with all my ethernet jacks around my house. In port 2 of the router, It's plugged into the eero in my network closet. Ports 3/4 of my router are...

Just an update for everyone who was kind enough to chime in and help me. I ended up getting everything for Black Friday for a good deal. I ended up with: -Netgear R7800 (159.99 + tax = 172.35) -Eero 2nd gen (3 main units) (349.99 + tax = 377.11 -Cisco SG300-10MPP (279.99 no tax) Grand total...

Just to be sure, are these the correct links for the router and UAP-AC-PRO? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W534NXP/?tag=snbforums-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PRO512/?tag=snbforums-20

Thank you all for the wealth of information! I really appreciate it. I'm going to take some time to do my research on what you all have suggested before I ask some questions.

I currently don't know what firewall logic/rules are, but I'm open to learning and would say I'm a fast learner. I know about routers and mesh systems but not a ton. I'm open to doing a lot of set up, that doesn't bother me. Anything is learnable with enough time in my eyes. As far as wiring...

Good point. Let me rephrase and say a budget of 1000$

Hi there, I have spectrum 1 gig internet and a 15-20 year old really crap router currently and I am looking to redo my entire setup. Currently I have many devices hard wired (cat6) which are going to a switch that is set up in my networking closet (My tv's, desktop, and some cat 6 jacks are...
